what kinda buddah survives high doses of cyanide and multiple gun shots?

just watched a documentary on Rasputin the holy man. not sure what really happend. but the story goes he was poisoned with no effect. shot again and again no effect. and just kept walking. he did finaly die at some point from the people trying to kill him.

if the story is true that is some serious power. he was known for healing all kinds of people as an adult and horses as a child. but this is the wildest story i have heard from recent times. perhaps buddhism can fill in the gaps if it was in fact true about the poison and gun shots.

The Guardian did a cool story on this a few years back:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...-kill-rasputin

The poison could have been old stock, Rasputin had gastritis and his body could not digest cyanide...the whole story was made up....lots of things.

As for being shot a few times and living...he may have had very thick clothing, the bullets missed major organs and arteries, adrenaline was keeping him alive...the story could have been made up...

There are certain powers one can acquire through yoga and meditation called "siddhis" and super human strength is one of them, but it does not happen very often and actually, the resilience is built up over a period of many years by practicing rigorous austerities...which is something that Buddhism doesn't teach really, as they are all about losing all attachments TO the body and to ones own mortality (or lack thereof).

im not sure of any more rigorous austerity than walking around aimlessly in siberia with steel shackles on his legs. lol

possible about adrenaline and such. im leaning towards being shot at point blank range multiple times would knock him down even with a bullet proof vest. not going to test it on myself though. lol

i think buddhism like Christianity and others teaches to first find god. but once they do like other traditions life goes on. and in life there is stuff to do. martial arts is big in the east. i seen buddhists in freezing conditions making wet blankets on them steam. i bet some have some skills. and i believe god is of more value. so i agree on whats most important. but dont deny life goes on.

anyways thanks for your response. didn't think anyone would of heard of him. it was pretty fascinating documentary. i think he had some power. and wondering in siberia all alone magnified his connection. would he interesting to know the truth.

This is the reality of today’s super human who is showing the potential of the breath and mind in such matters of health and well-being as well as defying normal ideas of survival in extreme circumstances. This guy speaks to me more so!

Perhaps Siberia isn’t such a bad place after all - and maybe there is a deeper reason behind Tuvan or Mongolian throat singing.

I wonder if you guys are all ready to know the truth about Siberia, Tuvan throat singing and feats of superhuman Mongol endurance? Don't say I didn't warn you:

Oh the heady days of reading the collective works of Gordon Wasson in my late teens..

almost never i read about or listen about a holy man and then get contact right away. this morning i seen him in my minds eye just before getting up and talking to me. it was very clear his practice. as he stated the only way is by heaven. what i got out of that is he had his attention on that as a practice. such as wandering around in siberia with shackles on all alone. he wasnt. his mind was on heaven. thats what i got out of it.

wim Hof. this gentleman blows my mind. i haven't even finished listening and it appears this gentleman knows more about development by a long shot than anyone i have heard. he just got to how the brain can be developed to release natural opiates and such. before how he was able to break 27 i think it was world records. how scientists have been studying his brain. how he was able to inject himself with bacteria with no effect on himself.

he doesn't just do it. he understands how he does it. exactly what is going on in his brain and body to make the impossible possible. this is the closest thing to superman that i have seen.

sounds like he does breathing techniques to develop things. i have been eating the heck out of bone marrow for some time now. sounds like a lot of his abilities comes from activating his marrow. makes me think must be some good stuff in there. gonna keep eating it religiously. lol

Yes, he is quite a man!

At the age of 12 he was studying things like Buddhism and doing his own research. By 17, he knew this was something in him that he had to follow as his path. He is a twin as well and he taught his twin ‘how to breath’ and access these states he has attained.

The beautiful thing about him is that he is very real and living this as the experienced explorer. So he understands it’s a natural ability that he wants others to realize can support their wellbeing, longevity and adaptation to stress.

Through the interview you get a guage, he is a very compassionate man as well, so he strives to share and teach others what, has become for him, a natural way of life and being.

Joe dispenza who I’ve done workshops with is a big fan of his breathing techniques. Not only for healing, calming and a more alkaline body, (which Hof advocates strongly is the basis of creating a healthy digestive foundation which then decrease your chances of diseases) but also for those higher bliss states.

In many ways he is showing the potential of breathework, conscious ‘altering your entire bodies chemistry’ -breath work.
