Travelers to Tibet
,our homeland,may find Marnyi stones and Marnyi
stone mounds almost everywhere, in monasteries,
beside villages, along paths and on mountains.
Sometimes they are decorated with sheep and
yak horns. Usually the universal mantra, Om
Marnyi Padme Hum, is inscribed on these smooth
stone plates, pebbles and rocks. Images of deities
and great adepts and sutra texts are also common
themes. We build these unique works of art to
show our piety to our deities and the Buddha's
teachings. Upon encountering a Marnyi stone
mound, we circumambulate it clockwise as a prayer
offering for health, peace, and protection.
Our shop just like one of
thousands ordinary Marnyi stones in Tibet. We
are not treasures,but a stone which carries
and spreads Tibetan Buddism spirits.

Chinese
Dragon:
The Chinese dragon (Traditional
Chinese: 龍; Simplified Chinese: 龙; pinyin: lóng Cantonese:
loong; Hokkien: dieng, leng) is a mythical creature. Long a potent
symbol of auspicious power in Chinese folklore and art, it is
the embodiment of the concept of yang and associated with the
weather and water as the bringer of rain.
The dragon is sometimes in
the West viewed as a national emblem of China. However, this usage
within both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of
China on Taiwan is extremely rare, both because the dragon has
monarchist connotations which run counter to recent Chinese ideologies
and because the dragon has aggressive, warlike connotations which
Chinese governments dislike. It is for the latter reason that
the giant panda is far more often used within China as a national
emblem than the Chinese dragon.
However even though Dragon
lost it symbol as China, it is still a respected creature in Chinese
cultural daily life. It is a taboo to disfigure a depiction of
Dragon, for example when U.S sportswear giant Nike made an advert
campaign for their brands, a basketball player is shown slaying
a Dragon (amongst beating up an old Kung Fu master). This advert
was banned immediately from the Chinese government after public
outcry for disrespect of the Dragon.
Also a lot of Chinese proverbs
and idioms still use Dragons, one example "Looking forward
their child turn to a Dragon".
Chinese Dragon Legends
Legend of the Yellow
Emperor
Some scholars report that the Huang Di (Yellow Emperor) used a
snake for his coat of arms. Every time he conquered another tribe,
he incorporated his defeated enemy's emblem into his own. Huang
Di was immortalized into a dragon that looks like his emblem.
That explains why the Chinese dragon has a body of a snake; the
scales and tail of a fish; the antlers of a deer; the face of
a qilin (a deer-like mythical creature with fire all over its
body); and two pairs of talons of eagles; and the eyes of a demon.
They fly in the sky among the clouds. Almost all pictures of Chinese
dragons show them playing with a flaming pearl. Supposedly it
is the pearl that gives them their power and allows them to ascend
to heaven. Chinese dragons are occasionally depicted with bat-like
wings grown out of the front limbs, but most do not have wings.
Also, since the Chinese consider
Huang Di as their ancestor, they sometimes refer to themselves
as "the descendants of the dragons".
Legend of the carp
Another legend says that a carp able to leap over the mythical
"Dragon Gate" would become a dragon. Several waterfalls
and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the
Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory for the drive and effort
needed to overcome obstacles.
Symbol of the emperor
The dragon was a symbol for the emperor in many Chinese dynasties.
The imperial throne was called the dragon throne. During the late
Qing dynasty, the dragon was even adopted as the national flag.
It was a capital offense for commoners to wear clothes with a
dragon symbol.
In some Chinese legends, an
emperor might be born with a birthmark in the shape of a dragon.
For example, one legend might tell the tale of a peasant born
with a dragon birthmark that eventually overthrows the existing
dynasty and founds a new one; another legend might tell of the
prince in hiding from his enemies, who is identified by his dragon
birthmark.
The empress was often identified
with the phoenix.
Dragons and Water
Chinese dragons are strongly
associated with water in popular belief. They are believed to
be the rulers of moving bodies of water, such as waterfalls, rivers,
or seas. They can show themselves as water spouts (tornado or
twister over water). There are four major dragons, one representing
each sea. For instance the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, Dragon
King of the Western Sea, and so forth.
Because of this association,
they are seen as "in charge" of water-related weather
phenomenon. In pre-modern times, many Chinese villages (especially
those living close to rivers) had temples dedicated to their local
"dragon king." In times of drought or flooding, it was
customary for the local gentry and government officials to lead
the community in offering sacrifices and conducting other religious
rites to appease the dragon, either to ask for rain or a cessation
thereof.
