The majority of Tibetans adhere to Buddhism, which teaches rebirth. There is no need to preserve the body, as it is now an empty vessel. Birds may eat it, or nature may let it decompose. So the function of the sky burial is simply the disposal of the remains. In much of Tibet the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and with fuel and timber scarce, a sky burial is often more practical than cremation. In their defense, it makes sense for their beliefs and resources. I'm sure they think the idea of being put in a box and left to rot below ground is odd. |

I thought it was almost beautiful in a way...albeit a little crude....
The guy cracking the skull open with a hatchet to get at the brains seems like he is enjoying himself a little too much. |

Interesting, "empty vessel" makes perfect sense, sometimes i think our souls are put into these animals they call "human bodies" once you die, you leave your body and take place of another in another life..
