160,000 People Physically Turned Into Light Bodies!

Many people in the spiritual communities have heard about light bodies but has anyone ever truly achieved this? Surprisingly, there have been approximately 160,000 documented cases of people doing this. Most recently, this happened in 1998 when Reverend Francis V. Tiso witnessed the metamorphosis of a Tibetan monk, Khenpo A-Chos, into a literal “Rainbow Body”.

Tiso interviewed Lama Norta, a nephew of Khenpo Achos; Lama Sonam Gyamtso, a young disciple; and Lama A-chos, a dharma friend of the late Khenpo A-chos. They described the following:

A few days before Khenpo A-chos died, a rainbow appeared directly above his hut. After he died, there were dozens of rainbows in the sky. Khenpo A-chos died lying on his right side. He wasn’t sick; there appeared to be nothing wrong with him, and he was reciting the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM over and over. According to the eyewitnesses, after his breath stopped his flesh became kind of pinkish. One person said it turned brilliant white. All said it started to shine.

Lama A-chos suggested wrapping his friend’s body in a yellow robe, the type all Gelug monks wear. As the days passed, they maintained they could see, through the robe, that his bones and his body were shrinking. They also heard beautiful, mysterious music coming from the sky, and they smelled perfume.

After seven days, they removed the yellow cloth, and no body remained. Lama Norta and a few other individuals claimed that after his death Khenpo A-chos appeared to them in visions and dreams.

You can read more about his testimony on his website.

Throughout the past 1,200 years of so, there have been approximately 160,000 documented cases of people turning into literal lightbodies.

One of the first documented cases involved a saint that went by the name of Padmasambhava, and achieved light body status along with many of his disciples. On his way to becoming a light body, he was also able to fly in the air as well as transform his body into forms that would frighten evil spirits and demons, while transforming them into Dharma protectors.

He was also the first (of many) to leave his footprint embedded deep into stone before transforming into a light body. Many of these footprints are still visible in these same Himalayan rocks, today!

Padmasambhava was also known in human form as Guru Rinpoche and may be the origin of the saying, “Everything he touches turns to gold.”

When Guru Rinpoche visited the palace of King Trisong Detsen, the King was over-joyous. He prostrated and gave him many offerings. When the king gave him gold-dust, which was the currency of those times and the customary offering for great masters, Guru Rinpoche flung it away and told the king, “I don’t need your gold. The whole world is like gold for me.” In that moment he touched a rock that was lying on the ground with his big toe and the king and all people who were present experienced that the entire area seemed to turn into gold.

The key to turning into a light body is based on one simple, but hard to do premise: love everything, all the time.

Of course, it goes much deeper than that such as the recitation of mantra, performance of mudra and visualization; as well as wisdom awareness, observing the egolessness, emptiness, and impermanence of all phenomena. All sound is heard as mantra, awareness of thoughts is the primordial dharmakaya, and appearances are the mandala of deities...
