Sky Burial In Tibet | Buddhism

Sky Burial In Tibet | Buddhism
Sky burial is a funeral practice in which a human corpse is placed on a mountaintop to decompose while exposed to the elements or to be eaten by scavenging animals, especially carrion birds. It is a specific type of the general practice of excarnation. It is practiced in the Chinese provinces and autonomous regions of Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia, as well as in Mongolia, Bhutan and parts of India such as Sikkim and Zanskar.

The locations of preparation and sky burial are understood in the Vajrayana Buddhist traditions as charnel grounds. Comparable practices are part of Zoroastrian burial practices where deceased are exposed to the elements and scavenger birds on stone structures called Dakhma. Few such places remain operational today due to religious marginalisation, urbanisation and the decimation of vulture populations

Many people here find sky burials disgusting because their worldview is limited, only considering cremation and traditional burial as acceptable methods of handling the body after death. I argue that sky burials are a more compassionate way to handle the body after death. In sky burials, the vultures are fed, which are seen as lower beings. In Buddhism, it is believed that by sacrificing yourself for lower beings, you can achieve a higher state of life, benefiting both yourself and those you have sacrificed for.

Not only that, but sky burials may also be more compassionate than cremation and regular burial. With regular burial, the ceremony is done with very sad emotions, and oftentimes after burial, the body is only left there to rot. With cremation, you are basically burning the corpse to ash, and it could be seen as cruel and disgusting. But with sky burial, it is done with a solemn yet hopeful tone, and you also help the vultures whether they need any help or not.

If we can eat animals meat than why not they ours?

[kennethhickman]

I respect ones beliefs. I myself do not want my remains to end up in a box in the ground. I have seen where graves ended up with buildings on top. With cremation my atoms will be dust and a part of this world forever but with due respect, To end up being bird crap coming out of a birds ass on a rock, I just don't get it

Indian and Bangladeshi people change religion Buddhist and Hindu to Islam because here 4 century 100 million Hindu and Buddhist people accept the Islam because I'm Buddhist now I'm Muslim because islam is good
