you don't need miraculous spiritual powers to commit suicide. It looks like these are known practices - why do they do it?

@KamilKiełczewski It is not suicide. It is leaving body at will. Generally in suicide lots of anxiety is involved. But here there is peaceful exit from the body.

Comments say that this is a shortened version of the video, which has been reposted many times on the internet, and that a longer version elsewhere shows his waking up again some minutes later -- and that he intended it as a demonstration.

It's not Zen by the way -- according to comments it's Theravada and the script on the coffin shows it's in Myanmar.

He consciously chose his death. It is possible for someone with great spiritual power to leave his body at will.
