A new meditation ritual in China is seeing women lying in shallow graves
to reflect on marriage failure. The women who are from Chonngqing, a
city in southwestern China, are ‘meditating’ at the graves to help them
cope with the devastating effects of divorce. In the photos, the women
are seen sleeping in graves with only a thin piece of plastic. They
appear to be lost in thoughts as they lay with their eyes closed and
hands in a prayer position.
Speaking to Daily Mail, the woman behind the strange philosophy, a
30-year-old, Liu Taijie, said she wanted to help other women suffering
from depression and divorce after battling through hardships herself.
'When a person is desperate, he or she could almost feel they’re near
death. By lying in the grave, my students could try to experience
death.'
'This will remind them that they have not done many things in their life
and that they need to forget about the past and start a new life. She
added.
