In Religion categories: Pyetañ Lhutañ is
the Bön Religion where the nature and ancestors are worshipped and animism is practiced.
The animism is the belief in a supernatural power that organizes and animates
the materials of universe. The existence of animism has been supported by the
Anthropologists and more researches have been endorsed from all over the world.
The Tamu (Gurung) are follower of the Bön Religion which is one of the oldest
religions in the world using its own Priests; Pachyu, Klehpree and Bönpo Lam.
The Tamu (Gurung) has very rich cultures and traditions in practicing and following its own way of various ritual ceremonies from (birth to the death); language, costumes, festivals etc. The heritage religion of the Tamu is Bön Religion, also known as Pyetañ Lhutañ (प्येताँ ल्हुताँ) who uses its own priest; Pachyu, Klehpree and Bönpo Lama. With the effects of the urbanization and the influence of the other religions, some Tamumai have stopped following the heritage cultures. Despite that, the Tamu Pye Lhu Sangh has been providing the importance of our heritage cultures and has been successful in substantially preserving and promoting the Pyetañ Lhutañ.
Pyetañ Lhutañ is the unshakeable identity of the tamu which is an orally preserved holy scripture of the ancient history, myth, traditions and cultures of the Gurung. To list some: Phase meh theba (Naming Baby), Chah Krapoh(Chhewar), Pahiru Khiba (Ripa), Plah Wuiba, Nghyoblic, Dheñkho, Phailu Tehñ, Chhyopa Tehñ, Healing & Curing, Funeral Rituals etc are still widely used. The most significant among them all is the Pai Laba; to connect the deceased spirit to the holy ancestors land Heaven which lasts for 3 nights and 2 days. The language used in the Pyetañ Lhutañ is Chõ language which is slightly different than the present Tamu language. It is said that the present Tamu language is the variation of the Chõ language which has changed over the periods but the Chõ language maintained strictly its origin when taught to the Khegi (priest) students.
