We then visited a Tibetan Monastery. Rumor has it that there were two flesh body cultivators who are sealed behind a wall. During the Cultural Revolution, people tried to raid the wall. They succeeded in locating the wall and attempted to remove the jewel that was in their mouths. It was a Chinese custom for those who have passed on to have a jewel in their mouth. The element that was most often used was jade. The story goes, when the thieves tried to pull the jewel out of the mouth, the lips started to bleed and they ran away screaming leaving the jewel in place.
