I remember vaguely a scene of a golden girl lying lifeless on a bed in the 1964 and third installment of Ian Fleming's James Bond movie, Goldfinger. The girl, Jill, played by Gert Fröbe, is the love interest of Sean Connery's James Bond character and her body was actually covered with gold paint. If there is going to be a body of gold in this world at all, it ought to be in Myammar. Recently, in a posting in Facebook, I came across a picture of a Buddhist monk whose mortal remains had turned into gold. The monk, believed to be an Arahant, lived four hundred years ago. I suppose the same thing did not happen to Buddha.
