Yongning Temple Stele, Buddhist stele in Tyr near Nikolayevsk-on-Amur, Russia.

The Yongning Temple Stele, measuring 179 centimeters in height, features inscriptions in Chinese, Jurchen, Mongolian, and Tibetan scripts on its stone surface.

The Ming dynasty erected this monument in 1413 to commemorate the establishment of Yongning Temple by eunuch Yishiha at the Nurgan military outpost.

The stele displays the Buddhist mantra Om mani padme hum in four different scripts, representing the multilingual nature of the region during that period.

The stone monument is currently housed at the Arsenyev Museum in Vladivostok, where visitors can examine both the 1413 stele and its 1433 companion.

This monument stands as the final recorded instance of a large-scale inscription utilizing the Jurchen script, marking the end of an era.
