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.
