Tibet Facts

Celestial burial is a traditional way of burial for Tibetans-after the death of a person. The corpse is transported to a designated place for vultures (or other birds, beasts, etc.) to eat. The core of the theory of Tibetan Buddhist sky burial is the immortality of the soul and the reciprocation of reincarnation: death is just the separation of the immortal soul and the old body, which is a different transformation in different dimensions.
