In the southwest suburbs of Beijing, the capital city of China, there are several mysterious caves on a high mountain. These caves are filled with stone slabs with Buddhist scriptures engraved on them. According to research, these stone slabs are about 1,400 years old. Who dug these caves? Why are these stone slabs in there?

As I know, the stone slabs you mentioned, with Buddhist scriptures engraved on them, were likely placed in the caves as a means of preserving and disseminating Buddhist teachings. Inscribing scriptures onto stone slabs was a common practice to ensure the longevity and accessibility of sacred texts.
