A prayer of the Tibetan ethnic group walks beside the prayer corridor in Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu, northwest China's Qinghai Province, Oct. 2, 2012. With a history of over 300 years, the Xinzhai Mani Stone Stack is the largest Mani stone stack around the globe. Destroyed in an earthquake in 2010, the stack, together with broken scripture halls and pagodas, got repaired and are expected to be mended well before November. Mani Stones are stone plates, rocks and pebbles, inscribed with six syllabled mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum", as a form of prayer in Tibetan Buddhism. (Xinhua/Wu Gang)
