Thai Monastery Investigated for Using 41 Corpses in Meditation

Authorities in Thailand are investigating Pa Nakhon Chaibovorn monastery in Phichit province after discovering 41 bodies allegedly used for meditation practices. The corpses were reportedly accompanied by donation certificates, but police are verifying their legitimacy to ensure no bodies were stolen. The monastery's head, Phra Ajarn Saifon Phandito, claims the bodies are part of a unique meditation technique. This follows a similar discovery of 12 bodies at a nearby monastery. The practice has sparked controversy, with local religious authorities questioning its appropriateness and investigating its prevalence across other monasteries.
