Her body was found in the state of Thukdam with moral fragrance all around. Thukdam (Tib: ཐུགས་དམ་) is described as a Buddhist phenomenon in which the realised master’s consciousness remains in the body despite its physical death. Though they are declared clinically dead, their bodies show no signs of decay and are found to remain fresh for days or weeks without preservation. Thukdam is a Tibetan word with “thuk” meaning mind and “dam” standing for samadhi or the meditative state. While scientific inquiry into this phenomena is still underway, they are yet to decipher this unique Buddhist phenomenon."
