In Buddhist
Tibetan culture, deceased members of society are often placed on top of
mountain ranges for carnivorous animals, such as vultures, to consume. When
practicing this act, the Buddhists tend to mutilate the bodies so they can be
absorbed easier. By having a way to dispose of bodies, they can focus on other
activities at hand. Shortly after dying, an individual’s body is left
stagnating and untouched for three days, after which there will be religious
chants said over the body. The corpse is then soon prepared for consumption
where it will be butchered.
