Mani Peace Wall

Project Updates
“There is nothing that benefits as much as generating a mind of compassion filled with thoughts of loving kindness. Nothing else is of any use”
— Venerable Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche
The Mani stone and Mani wall tradition was made famous by Queen Bhrikuti, the wife and consort of Songtsen Gampo (Tibetan: སྲོང་བཙན་སྒམ་པོ) who was the 33rd Tibetan king and founder of the Tibetan Empire. He was a major historical figure credited with the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet, influenced by his Nepali consort Bhrikuti, of Nepal's Licchavi dynasty. He is also regarded as being responsible for the creation of the Tibetan script.
Making or commissioning Mani stones and walls had tremendous power to maintain peace, Queen Bhrikuti was prolific in commissioning Mani walls to be made from carved mani stones and placed over many mountain passes throughout the Himalayan region.
Lama Rangbar decided to initiate this project in order to give people the opportunity to make Mani stones or contribute to them being made as their participation in the process of active peace.
Since that time, the tradition of commissioning mani stones for inconceivable merit and protection from evil has continued unbroken until today. When you support the Mani Peace Wall, each stone carved with the mantra in proper proportions will be placed into the mani peace wall as your substantial vote for peace in this world.
