Controversial Monastery Investigation: 41 Corpses Discovered in Meditation Course

In an unsettling development that's rapidly grabbing headlines, authorities are launching an urgent investigation into a Buddhist monastery in Phichit province, Thailand. Local police and health officials, responding to reports of 41 corpses allegedly used for meditation courses at the religious establishment, will today visit the aforementioned institution in Ban Noi, a sub-district of Pho Thale.

 

Central to this case is determining whether the Ban Noi monastery has followed the proper legal procedures in housing these bodies. The required documentation would include death certificates and approvals from relatives of the deceased. A significant portion of the investigation will revolve around utilising forensic science to establish whether the individuals died naturally.

 

A disciple at the monastery, referred to as 'Prapawarin', shared some insights with the media. She revealed that her meditation regimen included walking contemplatively for an hour, an hour of seated meditation thrice daily, and a two-hour nightly session in the presence of coffins holding corpses. Initially scared, Prapawarin claimed that she gradually became desensitised to the peculiar setting, finding calm in the process.

 

 

Parallel to this startling revelation, in Kamphaeng Phet province's Khanu Woralaksaburi district, another unlicensed monastery was scrutinised. All 12 corpses discovered there have now been identifiably linked to known individuals. No charges have been filed against the abbot of this monastery yet.

 

An official from the National Office of Buddhism in Kamphaeng Phet confirmed that this establishment has discontinued its controversial meditation course. This course purportedly promised participants would attain supernatural abilities, namely enhanced sight and hearing.

 

As the police, health and Buddhist officials dig deeper into these monasteries' actions, the story undoubtedly prompts questions about meditation practices and their intersection with religious observance, not only in Thailand but globally.
