It is said that through the satin ladder gatherings of people living Buddha Temple, the soul can Chuqiao into three Shanqu realm, not hell.

Filled with a strong pungent smell. Feels like to the execution ground.
Three bodies were placed in the middle of Tianzang Tai.
Tian Zangtai the west, is a big incense burner. Furnace Lane simmer Sang smoke curl from the date of the rising, which is said to the eagle signals.
Is far from an old Tianzang Shi smiled at me. His sharp eyes, face was black and red, sun and wrinkles to his face like a dried apple, let him smile appeared Yin brutal and ferocious. Yi Gu Zhi Mao Tian Linggai cold.
Soon, from all sides came a ring, looking upward, a look, an eagle, the sky full of eagles circling. Then pick one of those eagle from a passing overhead, the air full of "Wow - Wow," the sound and Yi Gu nausea Sao smell everywhere with open wings, wide and big, fast and stable down in flight, stopped at the burial so the north-east slopes. Moment, where the dense jammed with bald eagle, a large duck-like brown-gray. Their unbridled swing that glaring bald head, shaking the wings of a huge, greedy stare Tianzang Tai on the body.

The deceased's relatives immediately ran toward the Eagle group of dancing arm, shouting with, Chima forward, as if the confrontation with the procession and the crowds of anti-riot police, to prevent them from any deviant action. Eagle group immediately back, stay on the slopes, greedy staring dead meat.
Blink of an eye had settled down to get back, Tianzang Shi Bian Jiang profile control the body upside down to cut. From the chest to the extremities, and from facial muscles to the scalp, with the hook and knife, its capability. Very kinds of front and rear, however, the three bodies will be separated from finished. Then, Tian Zangshi turn those chunks of flesh cut into small pieces, put one side with a cloth cover.
Tingdang clean up, only to hear soon as whistle, a blindfolded man opened flesh cloth Tianzang Shi immediately retreated to the side, those vultures like 100 meters sprint, roaring, plunging to a flesh and blood, the jump tear looting personal danger, a melee can be described as Xuerouhengfei.

Eagles were again swarmed to eat it spotless. Eagle said only the people who can eat clean to heaven with the eagles.
Before and after half an hour is not on the half an hour, three bodies had been evaporated to complete, leaving Tianzang Tai on a bloodstained. Do not have a look and feel can be like a celestial burial, as is more stirring, more impact the human soul, and one on the heavy topic of the bloody life and death lay ahead. Living life, vegetation, a fall, naked in the past of going naked. Birth to the final for the purpose of death, but also escape from a death, then how are we to live? You live out a real, live a happy enriched you, this is the essence of health!
