Vào ngày 10, tháng 9, năm 2002 đã diễn ra việc khai quật cơ thể của vị trưởng giáo Lạt-ma Hambo Itigelov qua đời vào năm 1927 trước sự chứng kiến của người thân, quan chức chính quyền và các chuyên gia ở khu nghĩa trang gần thành phố Ulan Ude (Liên Bang Nga).

Thông tin này đã được truyền rộng trên truyền thông của Nga về vị Lạt-ma Buryat (sau này gọi là Hambo Itigelov ), người đã được khai quật từ một ngôi mộ vào đầu thế kỷ 21. Ngôi mộ này gồm một hộp gỗ và trong đó có đặt một vị sư Lạt-ma ngồi xếp bằng ở thế kiết già. Cơ thể của ông được bảo quản nguyên vẹn như thể nó đang được ướp xác. Cơ bắp và da của ông vẫn còn mềm mại, các nếp nhăn vẫn còn. Cơ thể ông được bao bọc bằng một bộ quần áo bằng vải lụa.

Vị trưởng giáo Lạt-ma Hambo Itigelov khá nổi tiếng trong lịch sử nước Nga. Ông học ở Anninsky Datsan (Đại học Phật giáo ở nước cộng hòa Buryatia, ngày nay chỉ còn lại di tích) và đã đạt được bằng y học và triết học (bản chất của sự vô vi), ông đã biên soạn quyển từ điển bách khoa dược. Vào năm 1911, Itigelov trở thành vị Lạt Ma Hambo (người đứng đầu nhà thờ ở Nga). Trong suốt thời gian từ năm 1913 đến 1917, ông tham gia nhiều hoạt động xã hội cùng với Sa hoàng, ông được mời đến trong dịp kỷ niệm 300 năm của dòng họ Romannov, và Nikolai II trao giải thưởng St. Stanislav cho ông vào ngày 19 tháng 3 năm 1917.

Trong suốt Đệ Nhất thế chiến, ông Hambo Itigelov sáng lập ra tổ chức “Các anh em Buryat”. Ông đã giúp quân đội bằng tiền, thức ăn, quần áo, thuốc men, ông cũng xây dựng các bệnh viện có các vị bác sỹ Lạt ma để cứu các thương binh. Chính vì điều đó,

ông nhận được giải thưởng St. Anna và các giải thưởng khác. Vào năm 1926, ông Hambo Itigelov đã khuyên các vị sư rời khỏi nước Nga bởi vì “giáo lý đỏ đang đến” (chỉ chủ nghĩa cộng sản – ND), tuy nhiên bản thân ông thì không bao giờ rời khỏi nước Nga. Năm 1927, khi ông 75 tuổi, ông nói với các vị Lạt-ma chuẩn bị thiền định vì ông sắp viên tịch. Các vị Lạt Ma đã không đồng ý tham gia vì ông vẫn còn sống. Khi Itigelov bắt đầu ngồi thiền một mình, các vị Lạt Ma đã tham gia cùng ông và ông viên tịch ngay sau đó.

Ông Hambo Itigelov đã để lại bản di chúc nói rằng hãy chôn ông ở tư thế kết già trong một hộp gỗ cây tùng ở một nghĩa trang truyền thống. Ngoài ra, một điểm hết sức thú vị đó là: bản di chúc còn nói hãy khai quật mộ ông vào khoảng thời gian nhiều năm sau đó. (Điều đó có nghĩa là ông biết được cơ thể của mình sẽ được bảo quản). Sự việc này xảy ra vào năm 1966 và năm 1973 các nhà sư e ngại không dám nói với mọi người về điều đó, bởi vì chế độ Cộng Sản đang bóp nghẹt tôn giáo trong xã hội vào thời đó. Chỉ vào năm 2002, cơ thể của ông được khai quật và chuyển đến tu viện Ivolginsky Datsan (nơi thường trú của vị Lạt-ma Hambo Itigelov). Cơ thể của ông được kiểm tra chặt chẽ bởi các nhà sư, các nhà Khoa học và các nhà bệnh lý học.

Kết quả giám định cơ thể của ông như sau: Cơ thể đã được bảo quản rất tốt, toàn bộ cơ bắp và các tế bào không hề có dấu hiệu của sự phân hủy, khớp và da vẫn còn mềm. Điều thú vị là cơ thể của ông chưa bao giờ được ướp tươi cũng như ướp xác.

Hai năm sau đó,

cơ thể ông được trưng bày để mọi người đến chiêm ngưỡng, không hề có một chế độ bảo quản bằng nhiệt độ hay độ ẩm nào. Không ai biết vì sao mà cơ thể ông được giữ nguyên vẹn như thế.

Trong kinh điển Phật giáo có miêu tả về hiện tượng này, tức là cơ thể của các vị sư có thể đạt được trạng thái “bất hoại” thông qua phương pháp tu luyện thiền định. Nhưng điều này chưa bao giờ được chứng thực. Và giờ đây điều này là một minh chứng rõ ràng.

Sau 2 năm được khai quật, cơ thể vị sư Itigilov vẫn không hề có dấu hiệu phân hủy hay hư hoại, không nhiễm nấm, cũng không có bất kỳ dấu hiệu xấu nào. Ngài Itigilov trước khi viên tịch đã từng nói rằng ngài sẽ để lại một thông điệp chung cho toàn thể nhân loại. Đây là một thông điệp không lời. Và giờ đây đã đến lúc chúng ta phải nhận hiểu được thông điệp ấy.

Exhumation of the body of Hambo Lama Itigelov took place September 10 th, 2002 on the territory of cemetery near the city of Ulan Ude (Russian Federation). He died and was buried in 1927 and the exhumation was performed in presence of relatives, officials, and specialists”.

This was the information that appeared in Russian mass media regarding Buryat Lama who was exhumed from the grave in the beginning of the 21 st century. The grave contained a wooden box and there was a sitting Buddhist lama in ‘lotus’ pose. His body was preserved as if it was mummified, however it was not. Soft muscles and skin, folding joints. The body was covered with silk clothes and fabric.

Hambo Lama Itigelov is a real person quite well known in Russian history. He studied in Anninsky Datsan (Buddhist university in Buryatia, nowadays there are ruins only) and obtained degrees in medicine and philosophy (on the nature of emptiness), he created an encyclopedia of pharmacology.

In 1911 Itigelov became a Hambo

Lama (the head of Buddhist church in Russia). During the period from 1913 till 1917 he participated in social actions of the Tsar, being invited to 300-year anniversary of Romanov’s house, opened the first Buddhist temple in St. Petersburg, and Nikolai II gave him St. Stanislav award on 19 th of March, 1917.

During the First World War Itigelov created and inspired the organization called “Buryat brothers”. He was helping the army with money, meals, clothes, medicaments, he also built a set of hospitals with lama doctors helping wounded soldiers. For that he got St. Anna award and others.

In 1926 Itigelov advised the Buddhist monks to leave Russia, since ‘the red teaching was coming’ (Itigelov himself never left Russia). In 1927, being 75, he told lamas to begin meditation, since he said he was preparing to die. Lamas did not want to perform this meditation because Itigelov was still alive. Thus, Itigelov began to meditate by himself, lamas joined him and soon he died.

Ititgelov left a testament where he asked to bury him as he was, sitting in lotus pose in the cedar box on traditional cemetery. It was done. There was also a statement, where he asked other monks to exhume him after several years. (This is the exciting point – this means he knew that his body would be preserved). This was done in 1955 and in 1973 by Buddhist monks but they were scared to tell everybody about this, since communist regime did not leave any space for religion in society. Only in 2002 the body was finally exhumed and transferred to Ivolginsky Datsan (a residence of today’s Hambo Lama) where it was closely examined by monks and, which is now more important, by scientists and pathologists. The official statement was issued about the body – very well preserved, without any signs of decay, whole muscles and inner tissue, soft joints and skin. The interesting thing is that the body was never embalmed or mummified.

Two years passed. Itigelov’s body is now kept open air, in contact with other

people, without any temperature or humidity regimes. How Itigelov keeps this condition, nobody knows.

This is the ONLY KNOWN AND CONFIRMED CASE OF IMPERISHABLE BODY throughout the whole world. Embalming and mummifying is well known among different nations and peoples – Chile (Chinchorro), Egypt mummies, Christian Saints, communist leaders and others. Some bodies were found in permafrost, however when they contacted with oxygen atmosphere they perished within several hours.

However, there are descriptions of such things in Buddhist texts, but there are no confirmed examples. Well, now there is.

For two years after the exhumation of Itigilov’s body it does not perish nor decay, no fungus, no negative things happen to it. Itigelov said before he died that he left a message to all peoples on Earth. This message contains no words. Now it is our turn to understand it.
