Thankfully, the Zen Lexi & I study doesn't go in for automummification. We just sit facing the wall for 10 minutes a day.

I and probably lots of other clippers are glad to hear that Spiritualmonkey. You and Lexica would be missed.

If anyone is interested, I have some great pictures of these self-mummified monks at this site: http://sites.google.com/site/selfmummifiedmonks/

I recently found out that the first English-language book on the subject is being published soon. (It's about time someone translated some info. about these guys!) This is a link to the text: http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4880-7
