It is very common with mountain people who believe in the Bon religion.Bon mainly accentuates the purity of space, funerary rituals and certain meditative practices..Bon was the indigenous religion of Tibet and has much of its distinctive character.In the 5th century BC, Prince Sinrao Miwoche of the ancient state of Zhangzhong founded the Bon religion on the basis of an existing primitive religion. It primarily was used for praying good luck and for dispelling evil. It gradually becomes a dominant religious force in the plateau.When Buddhism spread to Tibet, for the sake of their own survival and development,priests of the Bon religion and Buddhist monks fought each other. Therefore,Bon was forced to absorb contents of Buddhism in directly or indirectly ways.Thus, some scholar say that the Bon religion has become merely another sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
