Sky burial is a sacred ceremony where the dead body is cut, bones pulverized and fed completely to the vultures. It seem barbaric to the westerners. However, with better understanding of their belief, one will appreciate that sky burial is more romantic and environmental friendly.
Tibetans believe in reincarnation where the soul reborn to a new being. The dead body is just an empty vessel to be disposed of.Imagine the body is recycled immediately to the nature, becoming energy of the vultures soaring above the scenic mountains.
  The sky burial terrace at Banma is surrounded by numerous prayer flags. At the right is the stone where the dead body is cut and bones pulverized.
The body does not end up as food of maggots and bacteria. It does not stink nor occupy land. The deceased live in the memory of the love ones. Prayer flags at the sky burial terrace.
