The custom of celestial burial in Tibet is a traditional way of funeral for Tibetans, Mongolians and other ethnic minorities. Celestial burial means feeding the body to vultures. The vulture flew into the sky after eating, and the person who buried the sky thought that the deceased had successfully ascended to heaven. The core of celestial burial is spiritual circulation and eternal life, and death is only the separation of immortal soul from old body. Tibetans and other ethnic minorities admire celestial burial, that is, feeding dead skin to vultures is the noblest way of giving, which embodies the highest realm of Mahayana Buddhism paramita-giving one's life.

Celestial burial is also recorded in China's ancient books. For example, "The ancient burriers were rewarded with thick clothes and buried in the fields, with no seals or trees"-Biography of Zhouyi. Until modern times, celestial burial ceremonies still exist in Tibet.

The process of celestial burial ceremony is also unacceptable to non-ethnic minorities. The celestial burial ceremony was held in the celestial burial ground. After the celestial burial began, the celestial burial master opened the body bags, put the body face down on the celestial burial platform, and fixed the head on the stone pillar with Hada. Three vertical knives first, then three horizontal knives, which means "rest in peace!" " "Then dismember the limbs of the deceased, cut them into small pieces, remove the internal organs, and send a signal to the surrounding eagles. Under the greeting of the celestial burial master, vultures came forward one after another. Soon, all the muscles and internal organs were eaten clean by the quilt. The celestial burial master smashed the remaining bones, mixed them with Ciba, protected them into a ball, glued the blood on the ground dry, and then threw them to the eagle eagle until nothing was lacking. After all this, the celestial burial master washed his hands and sharpened his knife down the mountain, and the whole celestial burial process came to an end.

Although the process of celestial burial is difficult for ordinary people to accept, the mysterious celestial burial ceremony is protected by law. No organization or individual may watch, take photos or videotape the scene of celestial burial activities, or organize tourists to visit the celestial burial platform as a tourist attraction.
