A statue of
Luang Pho Daeng,
a revered Buddhist monk who in 1973 died whilst
meditating and was consequently preserved in the
samahti
pose. The
mummified
monk
(fig.)
was then put on display in a glass box at
Wat Khunaram, a
Buddhist temple on
Koh
Samui (fig.),
as a reminder of the transience of human existence.
