A young Jain monk pulled off quite a memory feat before 6,000 people in India. Over six hours people spoke to him with the express purpose that, at the end of the six hours, he would be able to recite back everything they said in sequence. He had 500 phrases or numbers to remember. And he did remember all 500 items in sequence.
He attributed his skill to meditation, something Jain monks are really proficient in. His leader claims that the young monk has committed more than 20,000 verses of Jain scripture to memory, and he has also been able to retain as many as 800 random items in order.
