The original name of Marnyi Stone is "Marnyi Stone". This is based on the eight-character mantra of the Third Tathagata's mantra "Om. Mazhi Moyasaled", taking the previous two words "Mazhi". "Mazhi Stone" is a traditional custom passed down from the ancient Shang-hung era. There are many customs and lifestyles of modern Tibetan compatriots, such as weddings and funerals, astronomy and calendars, medical literature, singing, dancing and painting, choosing a house and auspicious days when traveling, driving away disasters and evil spirits, divination, and so on. To some extent, it still follows the tradition of the ancient Yongzhong religion. Tibetan compatriots also have many unique ways of praying: such as turning around the sacred mountain, worshiping the sacred lake, scattering wind horse flags, hanging colorful prayer flags, carving scriptures on stones, placing mani piles, doing divination, offering torma plates, butter flowers and even using prayer wheels. Tubes, etc., these are also the customs left by the ancient Xiangxiong and Yongzhong religions.
Yongzhongben religion believes that the world is composed of the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind and space. Everything in the world, whether it is mountains, rocks, rivers, lakes, land, trees, and even every Every small stone has natural spirituality, and spirituality is the unique power of nature. In order for all sentient beings to fully understand the world view, outlook on life and the truth, starting from Buddha Dunpa Xingrao Miwo, the founders of the Yongzhong sect in the past generations have applied many convenient methods to save sentient beings. Such as using the power of nature (earth, water, wind, fire, etc.) to cultivate the wisdom and strength of all living beings. Such as prayer wheels, wind horse flags, mazhi stones (the earliest Mani stones) and so on. These methods of benefiting sentient beings were later accepted and imitated by other lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, and have been followed to this day, becoming a unique cultural phenomenon in Tibet.
