Hanging the bodies of passed-away people in trees: a funeral even more mysterious than sky burials.

  • Can you believe it? In eastern Tibet, when a loved one passes away, Tibetans actually hang the deceased’s body in a tree, exposed to the elements. This type of funeral is called a tree burial. The deceased are placed in wooden barrels or simple wooden coffins, and sometimes the body is tightly wrapped in a simple plastic sheet and hung in the tree forever.
    In Tibet, deceased bodies are often sent to sky burial sites for sky burials, where most ordinary Tibetans' bodies are offered to nature after death to express their final compassion. Monks are usually cremated or entombed in stupas. Some are given water burials or earth burials. Tree burials are more commonly used for children under 7 years old, who are considered to have most pure souls with no sin and incomplete consciousness.
    This mysterious and lesser-known burial practice, more enigmatic than sky burials, truly exists in eastern Tibet. In this video, I will take you to the mystical forests of eastern Tibet to search for those souls forever resting in the trees, awaiting reincarnation.

    About Me - Jamyang
    I am Jamyang, and I have been working as a tour guide with Tibet Vista Tour for 15 years. In 2020, during the Covid-19 global pandemic, I lost my job of being a tour guide, with the support of the company, I immersed myself in filming videos and documenting the culture of Tibet. My goal is to share the beautiful landscapes of Tibet, Tibetan culture, and the genuine and enchanting lifestyle of the local Tibetans with people around the world who love and care about my beloved hometown Tibet. If you plan to visit Tibet, be sure to get in touch with me. I can show you the best and most authentic Tibet.

    Many Native American Tribes utilized tree burials. I live by the Grand Canyon in AZ. Our Native people love, and Honor all Tibetan people, and Hope China helps to preserve traditional Tibetan lives, and sacred envirorments, and lands. Blessings to All~~~

      I think Sikkim is a Nepali word ? I don't know the meaning of Sikkim in Nepali, Sikkim in Tibetan is འབྲས་ལྗོངས། ,means somewhere the rice is from . the pronunciation of Tibetan འབྲས་ལྗོངས། is totally different from Sikkim . the pronunciation of གསེར་སྐྱེམས། is close to Sikkim though . in Tibetan གསེར་སྐྱེམས། means offering wine to the God of mountain (something like that). maybe the meaning of Sikkim in Nepali is close to Tibetan གསེར་སྐྱེམས། .....

With the improvement of education level, this phenomenon will become less and less. Forced marriage is a legacy of the old times and is common in backward areas around the world.
