Caption: Date: 1966-05 Location: Dhorpatan, Baglung Description: "Mani wall" in the Tibetan refugee camp. Made of piles of stones carved with the mantra "Om mani padme hum" (O jewel of the lotus). The belief is that as people pass by and read the mantras the thought passes to the universal spirit bringing merit to both the carver and the reader. This stone is a stylized version in which the entire mantra is captured in one complex symbol. Keywords: Carl Hosticka, Nepal Photo History Project, Peace Corp Photo History, carving, handicrafts
