Eagle Festival This festival commemorates the first abbot of the Sagya Genqen Monastery, a time-honored Bonpo monastery on Mt. Bon-ri . It is said that when the prestigious master passed away, a huge eagle flew from nowhere, guiding the body until it was settled in a newly-built memorial pagoda. Once the ritual was finished, the eagle circled around the pagoda three times and then left. The Bon believers henceforth regarded the eagle as an incarnation of the master and on every April 13 th (the day on which the pagoda was built) to April 15 th in the Tibetan calendar, there are religious rituals and the Kongpo dance in the monastery in memory of the master. Offerings are made to the eagle, which is believed to make a yearly return to the festival.
