Lecciones de vida y muerte

Larung Gar, China 2015

Todos los proyectos

Esta práctica tibetana desconcierta a los forasteros, especialmente a aquellos emocionalmente apegados a la forma física incluso después de la muerte.

Desde que supe del ritual practicado en el asentamiento budista aislado de Larung Gar, ha habido una fascinación por comprender la idea de llevar el desapego a sus límites más extremos: la desaparición completa del cuerpo por medios naturales.

Dejar ir el apego persistente a los restos puede ser un desafío, mientras que el acto intenso y enérgico sobreestimula los sentidos y evoca diversas emociones.
