🦅 Sky burial, or "jhator," is a unique Tibetan Buddhist practice where a deceased body is left on a mountaintop to be consumed by vultures. 📿 This tradition reflects the belief that the body is just a vessel and feeding it to birds is an act of generosity, symbolizing the cycle of life and death. It's a profound way to honor nature and the impermanence of life. #tombsntemples #skyburial #tibet #tibetanmonastery #tibetanmonastery #dalailama #lamaism #buddhism #asia #himalayas #nature #jhator #t
