Introduction

The Parents Stone, also known as the Joined Palms Stone, is named so because two stones are joined together at the palms. After being eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, it has become a symbol of the steadfast love between Tanggula and Namco. It is said that the founder of the Zhichuan Nyingma sect, Master Lotus, once joined his palms to pray for all things during his practice, and this joined palms stone is the manifestation of his blessing.
