One of the impressions of Yushu: the silent Manidui [TV poetry prose film and television review]

Silent mani pile

People who have been to Yushu, Qinghai Province, except for countless yellow ribbons hanging on the tree head, are most impressed by the piles of Mani piles made of many stones engraved with words and patterns.

The original name of Manidui is Manza, which means Datura, and the Tibetan language is "Duoben". I don't know when it started, people carved Buddha statues, animal protection gods and six-character mantras on stones and stood up to form Mani piles or walls. On auspicious days, people simmer mulberries, add stones to the Mani pile, touch them with their foreheads, pray silently, and then throw them on the pile. Over time, a lot of Mani piles have been built, and the more they are built, the higher they are.

Like Manidui in all Tibetan areas, Manidui in Yushu can be seen everywhere.

Although Manidui was silent, it witnessed the formation and development of Tibetan history and the rise and prosperity of Tibetan culture.

A vast sea of Mani stone carvings, each stone condenses the pious dreams and hopes of believers; Every stone is engraved with the heartfelt pursuit and prayer of Tibetans.
