Introduction to Mani Fang: Highly displayed in the middle of the square is one of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s treasures of protection - the Mani Pearl, also called the "Ksitigarbha Wishful Bead", which represents Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s great power to fulfill all sentient beings’ wishes and to illuminate Infinite light that penetrates hell. It is a symbol for people to eliminate disasters and to pray for happiness, peace and good fortune. The countertop of the middle sink is gilded in a radial pattern, with 24 inscribed characters engraved on it. The radial lines are 1.4 meters long and 0.06 meters wide. Viewed from a distance, the 24 golden characters look like 24 rays of light emitting from the "Mani Pearl". The font on it is not big, but it says "Swastika Namo Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mani Orb". The 102-meter-long Mani Fang east wall relief wall mainly expresses the harmonious world of auspicious and prosperous times; the 130-meter-long west relief wall is a decorative relief with the theme of Mani treasure.
