Sky burial

(Tibetan: བྱ་གཏོར་, w bya gtor), lit. ?alms for the birds? is a funerary practice in the Chinese provinces of Tibet, Qinghai, and Inner Mongolia and in Mongolia proper wherein a human corpse is incised in certain locations and placed on a mountaintop, exposing it to the elements (mahabhuta) and animals ? especially predatory birds. The locations of preparation and sky burial are understood in the Vajrayana traditions as charnel grounds.

The majority of Tibetans and many Mongolians adhere to Vajrayana Buddhism, which teaches the transmigration of spirits. There is no need to preserve the body, as it is now an empty vessel. Birds may eat it or nature may cause it to decompose. The function of the sky burial is simply to dispose of the remains in as generous a way as possible (the source of the practice?s Tibetan name). In much of Tibet and Qinghai, the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and, due to the scarcity of fuel and timber, sky burials were typically more practical than the traditional Buddhist practice of cremation. In the past, cremation was limited to high lamas and some other dignitaries, but modern technology and difficulties with sky burial have led to its increasing use by commoners.

Well, that's one way to get rid of a body.

I prefer to do it the old fashioned way.

freaking awesome.

Strange ritual indeed

Great way to return to the earth. This is the way I want my body disposed of. No silly ceremony or silly grave site trying to cling to life. Simply the continuation of the cycle...very Buddhist.

awesome .

That's certainly a spin on feeding the birdies.

So in the end, you wind up a pile of shit?

My thoughts exactly.

On a windshield.

Not bad at all actually...

I would do it, why rot in a smelly box when you can feed your local wildlife or become a beautiful bed of flowers? Its the most sensible way.

people doing this shit are really with strong shit in belly

I kunt think of a better way 2 end up, than as a pile of shit... :2 cents:

Lovely 8char

i'm planning on clicking that link and learning more about this, not sure if i should do that before or after breakfast though.

maybe way after but way before lunch. :Oh crap

This just teaches birds that we taste good, no wonder last time I was on the beach they went for me instead of my subway sandwich :thumbsup

The gators behind my house would do a much faster job.

That's pretty cool, but pretty sure goodgirl would want me to assign the task to someone else.

birds... worms... same difference, so long as the
family don't need to witness the ceremony

That is a bunch of nonsense. I want to be buried in my 1979 Sedan DeVille d'Elegance sedan. Somewhere far the fuck away from any barking dogs or human beings who are not mutes or dead.

You have a deal. Find the property and I'll rent the back-hoe. See you next week!!!

Alright, soon as I have a life policy without a 2 year thing, I'll be right with you. But you're paying. And if you ever bother my grave later, I will haunt you like a pack of ass sores.

Tibetans got it going on....:thumbsup
