Tibetans build stone piles under rocks. Do you respect them?

Manidui is an "altar" built by Tibetans with stones, slates and pebbles of different sizes, also known as "Shendui".

"Nimadui" was originally called "Manza". It means "Datura". In Tibetan, it is called "Duoben" (pronounced "Duobang"), which means piled stones.

In the mountains and rivers, intersections, lakes and rivers all over Tibet, you can almost see an altar made of stone and slate-Manidui. Also known as "god heap". These stone piles are called "Duobang" in Tibetan, which means to build stones. "Multi-gang" can be divided into "multi-gang" and "multi-gang". "Flower gangs prevent filth and disasters" are mostly located at the end of the village. The stone pile is huge and the upper part is stepped. There are scriptures to stop filth, eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, as well as grains, gold and silver jewelry and spears. Most of the "gangs" are distributed on roadsides, lakes and intersections. The stone pile is small, conical and has no steps. The right pile contains anti-evil mantras, and the stone pile on the platform also contains guns, knives and spears.

Most of the stones, slates or pebbles in the Nima pile are engraved with words and images. Most of the contents are Tibetan Buddhist classics, Buddha statues, animal protection gods, six-character mantras and various auspicious patterns. On auspicious days, people simmer mulberries, add stones to the pile of Nima, touch it with their foreheads devoutly, and keep praying. Over time, a pile of nima has sprung up, and the higher the base, the higher it will be.
