THE MANIDUI (L1001662)

香格里拉 噶丹·松贊林寺 拉娒央措湖

 

Lake Lamu Yangcuo , Songzanlin Monastery, Shangri-La

 

"The Manidui in Lake Lamu Yangcuo plays a complementary role with the mountain opposite. The platform on the mountain opposite is specially used for monks in the temple to perform sky burial after their death. During the sky burial, the monks would go to the Mani pile on the island to perform chanting sutras and transcendence ceremonies for the deceased. Therefore, generally no one is allowed to go to the island." ~ Wikipedia
