Re: ~Whistling While He Works~
The work of disassembling of the body may be done by a monk, or, more commonly, by*rogyapas*("body-breakers"). All the eyewitness accounts remarked on the fact that the*rogyapas*did not perform their task with gravity or ceremony, but rather talked and laughed as during any other type of physical labor. According to Buddhist teaching, this makes it easier for the soul of the deceased to move on from the uncertain plane between life and death onto the next life. |
