Documented/verified events with lots of witnesses




A famous Pure Land Buddhist Monk from Taiwan, reborn in higher Deva Realms

Near 7min 30sec part, there is a photo of his head at the time of his death.. There's a lump of flesh, almost 4 inches high at the peak, protruding from his crown chakra. Near or after the time of death was when it started protruding. The crown chakra area and protruding flesh after his death stayed warm for an unusually long time. According to Tibetan and Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, this phenomena happens when highly accomplished meditators are reborn in higher Deva realms, their consciousness leaves through the crown chakra area. (I'm not fluent in Chinese, so will need to verify some of the details of what's said in the video. It talks a little bit about his character and life, and these unusual phenomena at the time of his death).


lots of witnesses, need sources verifying /documenting events

2004 Sumatra Indonesia and Sri Lanka Tsunami

Anyone have article/media links to this famous incident? It goes something like this: During the tsunami, a passenger car carrying 3 or 4 monks, one of them a famous abott or very senior monk from a Sri Lankan monastery, the car levitated out of the tsunami flood and was placed on a mountain or higher elevation area by an invisible force.
