Over the internet, a Thai monk was able to conquer the boiling oil through meditation. The fascinating feat became a trending topic in social media and all over the web, raising curiosity for many netizens.
If you still don't know, monks are known for practicing various meditation methods which only showcase their discipline and strength. Netizens think of it as magic, I call it a miracle.
Monks register all these types of miracles they perform in a record called Triptaka, which is the ancient Pali scriptures.
In the video below, the monk, who originally came from Nong Bua Lamphu in Thailand, sits in boiling oil. He was seen praying peacefully in a wok with boiling oil. If you are in the scene, you will see the burning fire underneath the wok continually burning.
Most of his followers and supporters give him amulets and fabrics for him to touch. They believe that they will be bestowed his powers. Some of these items are actually sold to other places of worship and communities.
As of the moment, the monk's video on top of a boiling wok has already acquired a million views from YouTube. A lot of people are skeptical how he could bare such heat, asking for possible explanation to the act.
Science researcher Jessada Denduangboripant of the Chulalongkorn University told that the story is not true; for him, there's no proof that the oil is indeed boiling as no one measured the oil temperature he's sitting in.
No bubbles can be seen around the wok. The oil surface is calm. It appears that the double layering material of the wok insulated the heat coming from the fire.
