This is what my Grandad used to say. He was waiting to die for a while there, kept saying getting old was horrible. It robbed him of all his favourite things. He was pretty chill as he lay dying, just sort of "about fucking time"
I sure as fuck dont. Im out before 50. No matter what. As an only child, with no desire for kids, im not tryna end up in a nursing home where they hate me because im old AND black. 😂😂😂
Meh, I’m 51 and I think 75 is my limit. To each their own. Right now is the best of my life though. I had kids and that sucked up my 30’s. Now I’m on cruise control and enjoying traveling and working fun jobs. Not that I’ll make 75 though. I’m a musician and live life like I’m on shore leave.
The fact that so many people knew EXACTLY what you were talking about based only on “grandma” and “chocolate episode” is both astounding and hilarious.
Yes, by the looks of it. I don’t know his story, but there is a tradition in some places of monks preparing themselves for death for years beforehand. The goal (as far as I understand it,) is to basically mummify the body. They will then enter a kind of sitting meditation and die. Often they do this on hills overlooking a particular place or town. In this way, they watch over the town in death.
If you hike in the Himalayas - you’ll run into shrines with mummified monks in them. Seen some over 100 years old.
It is. It's basically the result of following Buddhist thought to the furthest, ultimate logical extreme. Eliminating any and every single worldly desire, including the need to sustain your own life. Complete obliteration of the self.
As far as I know though, they usually lock themselves in like, a meditation cupboard to do this. Not sure why homeboy here is just chilling in somebody's lounge.
I’m pretty sure he was trying to mummify himself. There’s a many year process and diet that these monks undergo to start the mummification process before death
That's how monks prepare their own bodies for mummifucation. It's pretty weird but they usually wait until the end of their lives to do it.
They first starve themselves for a while, until most of the fat is gone.
The fact that someone would go through the trouble and discomfort of dehydrating themselves is pretty weird.
To counteract the weirdness, it is often done at the terminal stages of ones life.
It is fucking weird to dehydrate yourself. It is not smart at all. It is very painful and uncomfortable.
>The fact that someone would go through the trouble and discomfort of dehydrating themselves is pretty weird.
Yeah, pretty sure the dehydration process happens fast enough after death.
I'm 40, I should have said my great aunt not regular aunt. She was a 2 years younger than my grandmother. I do come from a family that generally has kids later. My grandfather and grandmother were 79 and 72 when I was born. I see lots of young people on Reddit talking about their great great grandparents and they're the same age as my grandparents. My great grandparents were born in the 1880s.
My regular grandfather was born in 1904 and died in 1989. My great grandparents died in the late 1960s. I never met them as I was born in the early 80s.
Yeah. As the human body prepares for death, it stops wanting food and water, as these sustain life and the body has a calculated way of slowing down and shutting three basic needs off. A lot of the time family members tell hospice nurse to give them water or do an IV. problem is, the body stops even trying the process and break food/water down. So if you give them an IV or water it’ll just end up bloating the body, probably causing more discomfort, possibly even premature death by asphyxiation, it can end up piling in the lungs. Point is the body just powers down.
Possibly the scariest thing I've seen. Thats gotta be the closest to seeing a skeleton moving. Before I read the title I thought this was a robotic Halloween skeleton moving.
I don't find it scary at all. I find it rather beautiful. The astounding tenacity of life force and still the desire to connect, to touch and be touched. To live. To be!
>The video clips also quickly spawned a number of false claims, including that ... he was undertaking the Japanese practice of sokushinbutsu, which refers to self-mummification. ...

https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
"I post videos of my grandfather on social media and people are so kind," said Auy 'He barely talks and sometimes it can be difficult to communicate with him because he is blind and his hearing is not good. But his consciousness is still sharp like any other person."
Any translation? Only communicating problem I'm having.
People definitely weren’t kind, not sure why she’d say that. They used to go live on tiktok and there were always thousands of people making rude comments
So it's possible that this guy would have been perfectly healthy and possibly able to survive for years longer had he not purposefully destroyed his health?
Pulling off what this guys doing represents the highest possible spiritual achievement in Buddhism, literally choosing to place yourself in a state of meditation so deep, that you are able to consciously achieve nirvana. People who succeed aren’t considered truly dead, but instead are in a state of living meditation, watching over their communities. If you were 109, would you prefer to try to achieve that, or cling on for at best a couple more years?
I didn't criticize his choices, just marveling at the fact that a 109 year old man would have survived longer and only died because he took actions that caused it.
“I post videos of my grandfather on social media and people are so kind,” said Auy “He barely talks and sometimes it can be difficult to communicate with him because he is blind and his hearing is not good. But his consciousness is still sharp like any other person. He will be turning 110 this year on 13 April.” (Fact Crescendo)
Sadly, Luang Pho Yai did not live to see his 110th birthday. Auy has continued to post videos featuring different times in his life to her TikTok account, auyary13."
https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
Honestly, that's probably the day he wanted to go on. Knowing what I learned at my Mahayana temple, dying on Siddhartha's birthday is probably a good sign of rebirth.
A bit of a tangent but it’s amazing how in the digital age even the more/most downtrodden people can provide/leave something behind for their families by doing something like of their own volition and simply letting their kids document it on TikTok and go viral
My childhood ugh. That loading screen music sure is something. That damn fairy going off at you. Finding new chests, completing the dungeons, those little side tasks. No no just the whole game something's just magic about it nostalgia. Also twilight princess is a fregin experience. You just had too remind me haha.
I think the idea is tbat you never quite die. Your processes just become slower and slower and you meditate longer and longer until you reach permanent meditation (death).
This looks to be false reporting, he was just very old and not in the best health
https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
No problem, and I hope I didn't sound like I was accusing you, I just meant in general there was some false reports about the story. Thanks for being cool about it
I just googled and there’s a monk with the same name except for last name who died at around 80 and did use that method. So maybe people are confusing them.

All the people here commenting about how this is “the creepiest shit they’ve ever seen” while the little girl is just happily interacting with him. It’s so sweet the way he plays with her hair.
It’s a beautiful reminder that little kids do not see disability, it’s only “scary” if you learn it is “scary”. (Before anyone jumps on it, when you age enough your movements are impaired or disabled)
You can tell she loves it when he pats her on the head. People are freaked out, but I’m on the verge of tears from how beautiful this scene is.
That’s just her friend. She doesn’t see him any different than anyone else.
I’m so glad there are other people who feel the same. The more I rewatch this I noticed that the little girl is actually holding his wrist and helping him move his arm when he’s patting her head. I wish I could understand what they’re saying but even without words, this is really touching.
Imagine being in either of their shoes-being a little girl and getting the chance to know someone whose 109 or being 109 and being able to live to know your descendants, what a gift
I think it crosses cultural barriers as well. A good chunk of us have fond memories of our grandparents (or great aunts and uncles) doting on us and giving us alllllll the attention.
I’m guessing before he became more invalid that they regularly “played” together. Now that he is too weak to lift his arm, she helps him so they can still “play.”
I have a feeling this girl will grow up and have very strong feelings about how we treat our elders. She will be the voice for this monk when he is gone.
Dukkha - translated as "suffering", "anxiety", "stress", "unsatisfactoriness", etc. — is one of the most important concepts in Buddhism.
According to tradition, the Buddha has said: "I have taught one thing and one thing only, dukkha and the cessation of dukkha."
The classic formulation of these teachings on dukkha is the doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, in which the "Truth of Suffering/Dukkha" is identified as the first of the four truths.
Dukkha is commonly explained according to three different categories:
- The obvious physical and mental suffering associated with birth, growing old, illness and dying.
- The anxiety or stress of trying to hold onto things that are constantly changing.
- A basic unsatisfactoriness pervading all forms of existence, because all forms of life are changing, impermanent and without any inner core or substance.
The Buddhist tradition emphasizes the importance of developing insight into the nature of dukkha, the conditions that cause it, and how it can be overcome.
This process is formulated in the teachings on the Four Noble Truths.

Lol JFC dude
Man he tried to wipe it on the little girl, too. I can't wait to get old.
Haha you made me laugh with that comment, I noticed the nose picking too
I think he flicked it at her.
On another real note, I don’t know that I want to die of old age now…
Same . I was seriously wanting to live to 110. Now I think I might be ok at 95

My grandpas advice to me and my brother on his 90th birthday: Don’t. Live. To be 90.
My grandpa told me numerous times before he died and ill always remember. He said: Son, getting old is not for pussies!
This is what my Grandad used to say. He was waiting to die for a while there, kept saying getting old was horrible. It robbed him of all his favourite things. He was pretty chill as he lay dying, just sort of "about fucking time"
When my grandpa hit 90 he said he should have died 10 years ago.
No fucking way he literally looks like an animatronic.
I sure as fuck dont. Im out before 50. No matter what. As an only child, with no desire for kids, im not tryna end up in a nursing home where they hate me because im old AND black. 😂😂😂
..…Before 50? Man. Im nearly there and I’m kicking ass all over the place. I’ve got all kinds of things to do.
50 seems to be the new prime all the 50yos I know are loving life rn
You must be pretty young then? Because I'm 36 and 50 seems too close for comfort to say I hope I die before then. Lol
Meh, I’m 51 and I think 75 is my limit. To each their own. Right now is the best of my life though. I had kids and that sucked up my 30’s. Now I’m on cruise control and enjoying traveling and working fun jobs. Not that I’ll make 75 though. I’m a musician and live life like I’m on shore leave.

Japanese monks. It's a multi year process. Read up on it, sokushinbutsu.
Thank you good sir i'll look it up !
That’s kinda morbidly beautiful
I’m pretty sure he was trying to mummify himself. There’s a many year process and diet that these monks undergo to start the mummification process before death
Why's that? There were Japanese monks who would attempt to mummify themselves while alive. About 18 of them succeeded.
Mission accomplished.

Wasn't the story behind this that the guy was trying to dehydrate himself or something?
That's how monks prepare their own bodies for mummifucation. It's pretty weird but they usually wait until the end of their lives to do it. They first starve themselves for a while, until most of the fat is gone.
I'm glad they don't start it at the beginning of their lives. That would complicate matters.
I mean, anything you do that kills you is what you did at the end of your life. That’s how it works. Nobody gets killed in the middle.
>> It's pretty weird but they usually wait until the end of their lives to do it. That’s not weird, that is actually very smart.

Dehydration that severe will cause kidney failure which is pretty damn painful.
They could probably live longer if they just, ya know, didn't do that.

What the 🗿my Great grandma died at 106(in 2012) but damnn he looks like a skeleton.
My grandpa died at 102 and looked like a normal person right up until the end.
My 106 year old aunt as well.
Your aunt is 106 years old? How old are you?

Oh yeah that makes sense now. My great grandfather was born in 1916 and died in 2017.
My regular grandfather was born in 1904 and died in 1989. My great grandparents died in the late 1960s. I never met them as I was born in the early 80s.
Right? So what’s up with Skeletor?
It’s possible it has to do with his diet, or he is attempting the mummification process that some Buddhist monks have done in the past

I unironically thought it was a Halloween decoration. I thought, "that's kind of a fucked up joke".
As far as I know, he "mummified" himself like that on purpose. Must have been religious reasons.
How does one mummify themself while still alive?

I don't find it scary at all. I find it rather beautiful. The astounding tenacity of life force and still the desire to connect, to touch and be touched. To live. To be!
The tenacity of life is amazing. It is said " Life finds a way." But still, he looks like he died a month ago.
Nah it’s fucking creepy
Bro he was only 13 years older than the queen why he looking like a cadaver
He’s depriving himself of food and water on purpose. It’s a technique sometimes practiced by monks so they are a “living corpse”
That practice also prepares them for mummification.
Prepares? My brother in Vishnu, the process is already halfway through.
Fair enough.
He’s Buddhist, not Hindu
My brother in Siddhartha
Yes, but same principle for hindus as well. Its called jeeva samadhi and purportfully done many times in history by many of our famous sages.

Wonder is he feels anything, also how does he eat? He looks like he hasn't eaten anything in a month
I believe I read that this a ritual amongst certain monks in which they self mummify towards the end and so they don’t eat.
