The world's largest Mani stone pile (Yushu)

The New Zhaigai Mani stone pile is said to have been created by the high monk of Jiegu Monastery, the first generation Jiana Living Buddha Dodé Songqu Pawan, and now it has formed a magnificent city with a length of 300 meters from east to west, a width of 80 meters from north to south, a height of 4 meters, covering an area of 24,000 square meters, and containing 2.5 billion Mani stones. Moreover, as time goes on, this scale is still expanding. The stone pile is mostly composed of red and white stones, engraved with scriptures or Buddha images on them. Each stone represents faith and devotion. The Tibetans here walk around the Mani pile, chanting prayers, seeking blessings from the heavens and protection from the gods and Buddhas. In the Tibetan areas, various Mani stones and Mani piles of different sizes can be seen everywhere. However, it is rare to see one as large and with such a long history as the New Zhaigai Mani Stone City. On both sides of the street, there are stalls selling various types of stones, and according to the requests of the guests, they choose the appropriate category to place in different locations. On the side close to the Mani stone pile, there is a long row of prayer wheels, with bustling believers shuttling through them to pray for blessings. This is a very primitive place with few tourists. For friends who want to understand the local customs, ethnic beliefs, it is definitely not to be missed
