Creepy traditional Tibetan burial - for vultures to prick bodies
Burial practices still exist today in some areas such as Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai (China) and Mongolia. This custom is also known as the burial custom, a sacred ritual for the deceased in these traditional regions, but it is a creepy and haunting sight for tourists.
At the cremation area of the Larung valley (Garze, Tibet), black vultures fly in the sky, preparing to approach the dead body and prick the body

. The rogyapas attracted vultures by burning juniper trees. In Tibetan culture, vultures are considered sacred animals.
Before the funeral ceremony takes place, the deceased's body can be left indoors for 3-5 days After that, relatives will take the body to the burial area, located on a high mountain, away from residential areas.



All family members witnessed this sacred ritual.
According to the Vajrayana Buddhist perspective in Tibet, the family of the deceased is encouraged to witness the burial, to face death and to feel the "impermanence" of life.
There are two forms of burial in Tibet, a basic one, a solemn one. The basic type is that people take the body up the mountain, to the burial area and let the vultures pee the body. The solemn form includes more complex rituals.
Before the burial ceremony, the deceased's body was washed clean, the spine was broken, then the family members rolled the body into a white cloth and carried it up the mountain. The rogyapas will separate the body into parts with axes, then the vultures will sit darkly around the corpse and begin their quest
The Tibetans believe that vultures are like angels, helping the soul of the deceased to be transformed.



According to the Daily Mail, Tibetans strongly oppose visitors to the burial area.
The smell of the corpse was very unpleasant, and some local people who attended the funeral had to cover their noses. This cremation took place on a mountain near the famous Buddhist Institute Larung Wuming.
According to Vajrayana Buddhism, the soul is the most important part of human life. When it comes to nirvana, the soul exists forever, the body is just like a decaying "empty boat". Therefore, letting vultures make vultures is an act of family devotion to the deceased.
