Just wanted to share my thoughts on this mummy and the whole practice. I find it repulsive and an insult to my sensibilities. I also find it to be a perversion and nothing to do with real Dharma or Buddha’s teachings. Everything is impermanent and changes. Clinging to anything just causes suffering. There is nothing to be gained. Ego, greed, desire are at work creating delusion, that is all, nothing admirable about this foolishness!
