The
Bon carrires the traditions of workshipping the nature
of the primitive religion. Stiff and high mountains which
are devoutly worshipped by the believers are often regarded
as the Holy Mountains. The Menba people believe that since
the holy mountains are the way to the heaven, in order
to bring the spirit to the heaven after death, they should
have an intimate knowledge of the way to the heaven. So
the religious activity of walking around the mountain
came into being because of worshipping the nature. For
example, the Menba people in Metok often go to walk around
the main Holy Mountains such as Samdub Baishi, Butha Tseben
and Yundi Ning.
