The unsolved mystery of a 14th century monk

[Eldorado]

In the 14th century, an extraordinary child was born in Giu. He was named Sangha Tenzin. He mastered the local Bhoti language, and went on to excel in every field of study.

Thereafter, he embarked on the path of Buddhism, giving up all worldly pleasures to become a lama (monk). He spent years deep in meditation in a cave, ultimately gaining enlightenment.

Back then, Giu was a happy place but the surrounding mountains were home to demons who constantly harassed its people. They put a curse on the entire village.

No one could figure out how to get rid of the curse, so the elders suggested that the problem be taken to Lama Sangha Tenzin.

The lama agreed to help, and asked the village to wait for an opportune time. He spent the next few years engaged in sacred mantra chanting and tantric practices.

There are plenty of stories of saints that did not decay in the normal manner. One amazing one is Pramahansa Yogananda. This one was testified to by a western trained Mortuary scientist in an affidavit.

It is believed by many that Yogananda entered Mahasamadhi

How the hell does sitting in a cave mumbling to yourself for years at a time achieve enlightenment?

Sounds more like a highway to insanity. 

I call BS.
