What do you mean by Tibetans building stone piles?

The stone pile in Tibetan base is called Mani pile, which is used for blessing, and Mani pile has also become the patron saint of local people.

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".

Most of these stones and slates are engraved with six-character mantra, insightful eyes, statues and various auspicious patterns, which are also masterpieces of Tibetan folk artists. As long as we persistently carve the six-character mantra that we meditate on day and night on stones, these stones will have a supernatural spirituality and bring them good luck.

Manidui, called "Duobang" in Tibetan, means built stone. "Multi-gang" can be divided into "multi-gang" and "multi-gang".

Mani piles are mostly piled up with white stones, and are often placed in squares or circles on hilltops, mountain passes, intersections, ferries, lakes or temples and cemeteries. In the primitive ideology of Tibet, people think that everything has spirituality. Of course, white stones are indispensable in white worship.

Manidui legend

Tongtian River runs down from the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with snow peaks in Tanggula Mountain and Bayan Kara Mountain on both sides. Between the peaks and grass beaches on both sides of the strait, there are flaky piles dotted around. Flakes vary in size and pile height. The smooth surface of each slice is engraved with neat ancient Indian Buddhist scriptures, which is the mystery of the famous "Mani Stone Pile" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

According to legend, when the Tang Priest learned the scriptures, he crossed the Tongtian River and got help from the giant turtle. The giant turtle asked the Tang Priest to ask when the Buddhist paradise Tathagata would be completed. However, when Tang Priest arrived in the Western Heaven, he was too busy to learn the scriptures and forgot to ask the giant turtle about becoming an immortal.

When he came back from the Buddhist scriptures and crossed the Tongtian River, chinemys reevesii crossed the river with Tang Yan and his disciples on his back and went to the middle of the river to ask about the trust. Tang Yan told the truth, and the turtle sank to the bottom in a rage.

The Tang Priest and his disciples fell into the water and the Buddhist scriptures were all wet. Master and apprentice picked up Buddhist scriptures and put them on rocks by the river to dry. When it was almost dry, a gust of wind blew and Buddhist scriptures flew all over the sky. The master and the apprentice stopped and grasped slowly. There were still a lot of Buddhist scriptures scattered on both sides of the Tongtian River. The scattered Buddhist scriptures are now mani stones.

Tibetans believe in Buddhism, so these Mani stones are collected in piles to form a dotted Mani stone pile landscape. There is another saying: Mani stone is the sun-dried stone of Tang priest's master and apprentice. When the wet Buddhist scriptures are dried on the slate, the Buddhist scriptures are printed on the slate.
