A Thai Buddhist temple has claimed that it knows the whereabouts of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the afterlife.

Wat Phra Dhammakaya, which made the revelations on its website in a post titled ‘Where Is Steve Jobs,’ claimed the Apple co-founder is a mid-level angel living in a parallel universe.

According to a report in the Bangkok Post, the abbot of the temple, Phrathepyanmahamuni, came to learn of Jobs’ posthumous fate through meditation.

The abbot says Jobs is “a half Witthayathorn (a knowledge-seeking angel), half Yak (the Thai word for giant),” which is a mid-level angel, the New York Daily News reports.

According to the report, the temple said Jobs has 20 servants as a result of his “worldly virtue.”

The temple also said that as a result of his ‘worldly virtues’, he lives in a six-storey silver metal building which resembles the products he made in life.

Jobs died last year at the age of 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
