This is connected with the way in which creatures hibernate during the intensely cold winters and how some life forms, including humans, can put themselves into a state of suspended animation. Some Tibetan monks, themselves Zen masters, have perfected this technique, so perhaps the stories of Shangri-La and the Himalayan peoples who could live for centuries are not so completely far-fetched.
