Why don't Tibetans like people touching his head?

Tibetans are a very mysterious nation with strong national beliefs.

And others touch their heads with their hands, which is equivalent to giving them a big taboo. Tibetans' national beliefs are deeply rooted and even have an obsession. It mainly comes from a kind of Tibetan Buddhism formed after Buddhism was introduced into Tibet in the 7th century.

In Buddhism, only high-ranking people are regarded as touching other people's heads. Generally, only monks or living buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism can touch other people's heads. Some special ceremonies will be held for this purpose. This ceremony is also held to seek a good morality to pray for these monks and eliminate disasters.

In the traditional Tibetan culture, people believe that only eminent monks of Tibetan Buddhism are qualified to pray for disaster relief and are allowed to touch others' heads. And being moved by these monks is especially supreme. For the followers of Tibetan Buddhism, it is a great happiness to be blessed by a monk or a living Buddha. So in their minds, only they can touch the top of their heads, which is very annoying to some strangers and even their friends.

Not only that, the top of the head is the highest part of a person. Under normal circumstances, if someone touches his head, it will be annoying and regarded as disrespectful. My hands are dirty and I touch a lot of things. The top of the head is a very sacred part of people. Touching the top of your head with your hand is extremely inappropriate, even an insult.

So it is very important to send Tibetans to the top of their heads. Not all people are qualified to touch their heads, but they regard it as a ceremony to accept blessings. And those who touch others' heads without their permission are an insult and will naturally attract others' disgust.
