I've seen this video, it was spectacular. The body was very soft.

    For the first two pictures - she was still alive. 3rd and 4th the conciousness already left her body. She is not considered dead in this sense.
    It is believed that she is now in Pure Land with Buddha Amitabha.

    The 7th picture is the burning of the body.

    The bottom few pictures are the ashes (bones) with abundance of relics.

    Amazing video.

    What's going on in 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14?

    10 looks like some bones (maybe?) along with flowers or something.

    The bubbly stuff on the others.... I don't really know what thats all about.

    They are relics.

    For more information about buddhist relics. goto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relic#Buddhist_relics

    Relic information is also available at http://www.maitreyaproject.org/en/relic.html

    It is not uncommon to see relics for a person who performed good Buddhism practice in his/her life, especially in Asia.
