Tzarang. Funeral ceremony
For the soul of the dead person to be freed, monks pray for 48 days. In the Buddhist religion members of the deceased’s family must consult a lama (monk) to choose one of the three paths that will allow the soul to be released.
1- Take the body to a mountain and cut it up so it can be eaten by vultures
2- Cut up the body and place the pieces in a river
3- Cremate the body and scatter the ashes in a river
