  1. The lower mantra is the Mani Mantra:

    ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པ་ད་མེ་ཧཱུ

    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_mani_padme_hum

    I am pretty sure that the upper mantra is the mantra of Amitayus

    ཨོཾ་ཨཱ་མ་ར་ཎི་ཛི་ཝ་ནྡི་ཡཧཱ་སྭཱ on the stone more usually written

    ཨོཾ་ཨཱ་མ་ར་ཎི་ཛི་ཝིན་དཱ་ཡེ་སྭཱ་ཧཱ

    Pronounced: om a ma ra ni dzi win da yé swa ha

  2. I can read Nagari quite well, and Tibetan generally looks tantalizingly familiar…but not having properly studied it, I can’t do much with it.
