Self Mummification & Winchester Mansion - Bell Midnight
Channel: Bell Midnight
Date: 2022-03-01

In this episode we look at the practice of Sokushinbutsu, or becoming “Buddha in this body.” The practice of self mummification performed by the Japanese Shingon monks of Yamagata. A grueling 1,000 day practice of tree eating and preparing the body for preservation after death with the purpose of achieving enlightenment in order to save humanity. Along with the story of Tetsumonkai, one of the most famous Buddhists to accomplish this task.
In the second half we'll look into the history and mysteries of the Winchester Mansion and the life of Sarah Winchester. Was the mansion was built to elude evil spirits and the famous Winchester curse? Or perhaps it stands as a monument to human grief.
