Buddhism in Myanmar is predominantly of the Theravada tradition, practised by 89% of the country's population. It is the most religious Buddhist country in terms of the proportion of monks in the population and proportion of income spent on religion. Adherents are most likely found among the dominant Bamar people, Shan, Rakhine, Mon, Karen, Zo, and Chinese who are well integrated into Burmese society. Monks, collectively known as the sangha, are venerated members of Burmese society. Among many ethnic groups in Myanmar, including the Bamar and Shan, Theravada Buddhism is practised in conjunction with nat worship, which involves the placation of spirits who can intercede in worldly affairs.

With regard to the daily routines of Buddhists in Myanmar, there are two most popular practices: merit-making and vipassanā. The weizza path is the least popular; it is an esoteric form somewhat linked to Buddhist aspiration that involves the occult. Merit-making is the most common path undertaken by Burmese Buddhists. This path involves the observance of the Five Precepts and accumulation of good merit through charity and good deeds (dana) to obtain a favourable rebirth. The vipassana path, which has gained ground since the early 1900s, is a form of insight meditation believed to lead to enlightenment. The weizza path, is an esoteric system of occult practices (such as recitation of spells, samatha and alchemy) and believed to lead to life as a weizza (also spelt weikza), a semi-immortal and supernatural being who awaits the appearance of the future Buddha, Maitreya (Arimeitaya).

The above Burmese is translated into English:

THE MONK, NAMED U MAHEINDA (KNOWN AS GOLDEN CROW PERCH )

WHEN THE MONK WAS ALIVE THERE WAS A GOLDEN CROW CAME AND LIVED WITH THE MONK FOREVER.

IT HAS BEEN OVER 18 YEARS THE MONK PASSED AWAY. HIS UNBURIED BODY REMAINS WITHOUT RUIN.

ALL THE PARTS OF HIS BODY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE.

ALL HIS BODY PARTS CAN BEND OR STRETCH LIKE HUMAN ALIVE.

SO WE CAN CALL HIM 'YAHANDA' OR 'SAINT' OR 'MONK FREE FROM DEFILEMENT'.T
......
To preserve the venerable Bhante U Maheinda still not any sort of medicines is used and he is not mummified also. He is in lying position as a real one. Any sort of research is welcome!
