you Know, some Asian priests practiced communification, considering that this process is necessary for transformation into a "Living Buddha" and enter Nirvana. This process was facilitated by a special post, during which the monks gradually reduced the amount of food and the body moved to the endogenous power.

For example, in Japan meditation masters started with a 1000-day diet of seeds, nuts and water, and then went on to the 1000-day feeding on roots, bark pine and special tea from the lacquer tree, which contained the toxic substance urushiol. Later still alive priests walled in stone tombs, where they waited for death.
