(((It should be taken for the death of this detached attitude, it is no longer a deadline of life but a life stage of a process. We are faced with death as if on a sunny spring day in the morning before work to say goodbye to family members, like frankly)))
Refer to celestial burial, it emerges out of mind such a picture, under the blue sky, mountains of Britain, warehouse eagle hovering at high altitude, solemn Tianzang Tai, the Master hands of law enforcement device, mouth mutter prayers; the dead wrapped in white clothes, an air of serenity, Meiyu Jian soon promoted to reveal the joy of heaven. The selected time, which Tianzang Shi Shou Zhi sharp knife, carefully peel the deceased's clothing and shoes. Sky hovering eagle attached to the positions washed down, an instant, the dead flesh was an empty warehouse eagle eating a soul would have with the the warehouse Eagle proudly straight, straight into the clouds Xiao arrived in heaven.
A solemn religious ceremony, a spectacular death of the sacred mantra.
So, I heard that only about 150KM north-east of Lhasa Gong Temple, the world's two largest Tianzang Tai, one day they and several friends rented a car. 3:00, went straight to Drigum Temple away.
A far more difficult than expected to walk more. Down the road, in the potholes on the bumpy, uneven dirt road I do not know for how long. Heart felt to be almost the to the right? Who would have thought one would ask the driver there is 70KM. It seems that the dead road to paradise does not go so good. living more suffered no point suffering it is even more surprising.
Tribute to reach only the temple for almost 8 o'clock. Tianzang Tai is still behind the mountains. Looked at a few people will carry a white cloth wrapped things next mountain Probably thought it was dead. Just do not know why the look so small. So to say that we are going to take a look at the driver. The driver was a tall, fierce danger Tibetan guy, volunteered to give us as an interpreter. A few people are naturally delighted, and hastened to nod. Who would have thought the people we saw with the maze-like turn one, but let us visit the temple. I gradually raised doubts . had heard that Tibetan people are not too welcome the aliens watch burial rituals, it is difficult to really the case? I asked, Tianzang Tai bar at the top? He replied that he had just asked, and today may be gone. My heart was surprised, how so? Would quietly ask a lama, the answer is well wow, in the above. Thus hearts with bottom, but still pretending to look like if nothing had happened, said: Come on we go to the top bar.
Take about 20 minutes, turned the mountain top, saw a few serpent eagle circled the sky eagles. Beyond it he saw a fenced grassy area outside the fence the activities of the dozens accipiter. Which is far from a few people what in the busy, and then in recent found inside the fence there are more eagles. A rough count there are more than 100, with an occasional 12 to fly, foot wingspan nearly two meters. Had this piece of grass surrounded by is the famous only for the temple Tianzang Tai.
Through a small door that we went in, in the fenced side of the grass there is a circular Shitai. Shitai the side of a stone to make the dip plate. Other areas covered with pebbles. Dip plate next to the three individuals around the dirty apron, alive tsampa poker-faced a number of bones in the Zazhe. Next to the Eagle group of some agitation, several armed with clubs from time to time standing around trying to drive a near Shitai the accipiter. Suddenly, I found a bone attached at one end of a foot impressively. So this is what burial, and this funeral near the end.
We go past a bit like Kangezixi. Surprisingly, a hammer down, splashing the bone marrow to us and descend quickly, fortunately hide fast, did not put forward a one a look, but think about a certain look Henlang Bei Fei Tao. They are a hammer a hammer Zazhuo from time to time put some tsampa, we know that this is to enable the eagles prefer to eat, because eating more clean, that the soul of the deceased sublimation of the more thoroughly.
Zan bones and Pakistan will soon have been mixed with rotten, Wai apron a few people (perhaps Tianzang Shi bar) put down the hands of the hammer, drive around the eagle in the hands of people who put down the stick. Eagle Group bang flutter past, a moment, the ground and only little pieces cut.
Eagle group to leave, and Mo Zhao mouth, hiding in the side of the slow food taste steel. Several Wai apron of a few people lowered apron, wash your hands, face. Took the edge of a few people (family members) delivery to the notes, walked to one side a rest. Sitting around Shouzhi rattle mutter prayers salvation of the souls of the monks to stop the mouth of the Whisper, lay down drum stood up and walked into a house next to.
I think this is the burial of the. Eagles were finished, the deceased's soul ascend to heaven.
Drivers to come along and say let's go. I said, and so will you, I know at least one below, and we could not just leave, we understand that a complete process.
Not so long a tractor opened up, unloaded from the above two packages wrapped with bags of things, put a pebble on the dragging. Are drops of cushion inside is not dead, the burial began.
Master slowly sat aside and picked up his guy. In a weakly in the drum began salvation scriptures.
The two Tianzang Shi Shou Zhi knife in one hand a hook, into two packet pick to open the rope, tore open the bag, 2 Juan Su impressively into the body of the baby-like eyes exposed. Sky burial is to the deceased when the original baby-shaped bundles No wonder seemed so small.
I give a little bit surprised, there is no imagination in the solemn rituals and pious condolences warning, not even without a clean shroud, how a bag put people spend it?
Tian Zangshi little to do with the hook to the body stretching, from the back brush is a meat down, threw the pebbles. The body's muscles and exposing the magenta yellow grease spinning. Not far from the Eagle base beginning to stir. A few people carrying clubs to prevent the group close to the eagle. Tianzang Shi continued, from the back to the thigh, calf, and continually cut down on meat and throw pebbles. Then there feet, hands, shoulders, head,. . . Gradually turned into a bloody corpse full body, the air gradually diffuse a wave Xing Xing taste.
At this time Eagle Group unrest is growing. Finally, when Tian Zangshi stand free in the beginning to the body of the victim's abdomen cut open when the group broke through the Eagle to intercept more than 100 eagles swarmed flew at the body. For a time, fighting sound bite Sida-stop. The deceased's flesh into the mouth of the serpent eagles in British food. Crevice to see the internal organs of the deceased was dragged out, it was soon eating his personal hygiene.
Is limited, eagle group gradually dispersed, leaving only two incomplete skeletons. Accipiter dragging a few get enough of the skull, above the remnants of a fighting over the scalp. Tianzang Shi began to gather up the bones of another side to prepare and put forward Zan Pa It is smashed, so that the deceased complete heaven.
Back on the road we have been discussing the topic of burial. No matter how the whole ceremony was a solemn and sacred. Watch the time has not felt the impact and shock. Tianzang Shi filled with professional indifference, the family has no other funeral piercing of the Ku Hao. Them, or quietly work or quietly watching their loved ones souls ascend to heaven course. Some may be only the hearts of the blessings of quiet and prayer. Maybe people should be taken for the death of this detached attitude, it is no longer a deadline of life but a life stage of a process. We are faced with death as if on a sunny spring day in the morning before work to say goodbye to family members the same as frank. We cherish life, but no longer fear death. Death is no longer cold and dark, we can fully enjoy the warmth and light of life, better life, a glorious bath.
