Bagmani wall

The total length of Bagh mani wall is 1.6 km, about 2-3 meters thick, and the highest part is about 3 meters. The wall is made of Mani flakes, which are engraved with six character proverbs and some scriptures of ganjul and danjul. There are five colors of Sutra flags flying on the wall, and various Buddha statues are placed in the windows on both sides of the wall, which are exquisitely carved and vivid. Well, beside the wall, there are a long wall of turning sutras, Babao White Pagoda and Jingfan pagoda group. The whole building group is like a giant dragon on zhaxika grassland. Stepping into the mani wall, it seems to be a great wall of faith, standing in the hearts of the people of the Sun Tribe for hundreds of years.

summary

Travelers who have been to Tibetan areas will be attracted by the mysterious mani piles. In Shiqu, the piles of Mani were built into walls and castles, lying on the beautiful and vast zhaxika grassland. One of the most influential is the bagmani wall near the first bay of the Yalong River. The mani wall, which has been recorded in the Guinness Book of world records, is a holy place for Tibetan Buddhist believers and an auspicious place to witness the faithful love between young men and women.

The legend of bagmani wall

It is said that more than 300 years ago, bage living Buddha saw a couple eloping for love while resting by the Yalong River. That night, they were resting by the Yalong River. When the young man saw that the sleeping girl was wearing all kinds of precious jewels he had never seen before, he lost his mind and strangled his beloved. At dawn, the young man threw his lover's body into the river. When he returned to the bank, he found that all the jewels were missing. It turned out that Bagh living Buddha, who had been nearby, saw all this and hid his jewelry, waiting for the young man to come to him. When the dead young man appeared, Bagh living Buddha warned him: "precious love, no amount of jewelry and wealth can be exchanged for it." After listening to this, the young man was extremely remorseful, and finally realized that he followed bage living Buddha to convert to Buddhism by the Yalong River. He spent his whole life repenting and practicing for his beloved and his own evil deeds. And Bagh living Buddha put down the first mani Sutra stone of Mani wall here. Since then, Buddhist believers and many young men and women who love each other have been building mani sutras here to represent their wishes. For more than 300 years, this magnificent and immortal unique building on zhaxika grassland has been formed.
