Mani prayer stone
Mani stones (mani prayer stones) are stones engraved with religious texts, mantras or figures that are placed along pilgrimage routes or at sacred places in the Tibetan cultural area. The most famous mantra is engraved here: "Om mani padme hum", which belongs to Avalokiteshvara, the "Lord of Compassion". If you recite the mantra, you can strengthen your own compassion. SM8HF
