Some of the millions of prayer stones piled up at Gyanak Mani

Not just home to the largest collection of prayer stones in Tibet, but also one of the best koras, Gyanak Mani is a must-see for anyone in the area.
One of the large indoor prayer wheels was being repainted by a team of prayer-wheel-painters. While the wall around Gyanak Mani had the common bronze-coloured prayer wheels, there were other large prayer wheels towering above the pilgrims. Eventually, I sat down just to see the constant stream of pilgrims passing by - few of them prostrating, most turning the prayer wheels while keeping their own hand-held prayer wheels in motion, while a few just walked past. Sitting there for a while made me realize that pilgrims were actually walking many laps: I continued recognizing faces. The more circumambulations you do, the better it is of course. Most pilgrims do 3, 13 or even 108 circuits of a kora, the latter being an ominous number for Tibetan Buddhists. Walkinf a kora is, in a way, very smbolic of the cyclical nature of Buddhism. No matter how relaxed they seemed, the Tibetans I saw on this kora were all obviously determined on their way around Gyanak Mani.
