[00:00.678]For a few,
[00:01.679]there is one final but essential task to perform.
[00:07.425]Buddhists believe in the concept of rebirth,
[00:10.660]and at Kailash
[00:11.678]the journey from one life to the next
[00:14.179]is marked with an ancient but outlandish ritual.
[00:19.427]Tibetans believe there's no need to keep or bury the bodies of their dead,
[00:23.670]since a departed life will already have kindled a new one elsewhere.
[00:31.427]The word for burial in Tibetan means "giving offerings to the birds",
[00:37.179]an act of generosity in line with the concept of compassion for all beings.
[00:47.174]By doing good deeds, Buddhists believe
[00:49.668]that they can contribute to the process of enlightenment.
[00:53.678]So a sky burial at Kailash contributes to a brighter future.
[01:17.171]There may be legends of mythical mountains and rivers that form the "axis of the world".
[01:23.426]But the Tibetan plateau itself,
[01:25.926]with its mountains, glaciers, and rivers,
[01:28.926]and as the engine that drives the monsoon,
[01:31.677]lays fair claim to being the real axis of the world.
[01:39.927]Apart from feeding the rivers of India and Pakistan,
[01:43.921]Tibet's glaciers are the source of even more great rivers.
[01:48.179]Vietnam's Mekong,
[01:49.926]Burma's Salween and the Yangtze and the Yellow,
[01:53.677]both of which flow into China.
