Once upon a time, far, far away in Tibet - there lived a buddhist monk who was so determined to serve his convent that he had asked to be able to do so, - even after his death. He repeated his wish on his death bed, and his brothers promised to fulfill his wish. So the holy man was embalmed, and his body was put up ouside the convent, - by the gate. The other monks made sure that he always had a candle in his hands, - and the candle was lit every night, - to show the visitors the right way.
