About Skinny body before Buddha .As the Buddha was going around in the Bhikkhus forest, he entered the Vedas monk and the Udhaaks monk, meditating on the Dhamma, and, having received the worldly knowledge of the world, did not yet attain the asceticism. Then he was thought to have lost his meditation under the tree, and he was ate by the fruit that fell only under the tree. Then he thought he was going to lose his meditation, and he thought he would not eat at all. But the spirits said that if he did not eat, he would donate the spirit food. As a result of this great effort, the body, like the golden figure of the Buddha, became pale and dehydrated. There was no more blood, but only bones and skin. It is difficult to be this buddha. The Buddha had practiced the occult for six years, but he did not become the buddha. Then he ate the food and re-joined it. As a result, the skin soon grows stronger and the skin is restored.
