한참을 멍하니 바라만 보다 Just look at it vacantly for a long time. 만 is an auxiliary particle for emphasizing like "just, only" 바라 보다(look at) => 바라만 보다(just look at) e.g. 앉아 있다. => 앉아만 있다. 하루 종일 앉아만 있어서 살이 쪘다. I gained weight because I was sitting all day. 먹다 => 먹기만 하다 많이 먹기만 하고 운동을 충분히 하지 않았나 봐요. I've only been eating too much and not exercising enough.

Its meaning is "For a long time". You also can translate easily, use google translator. Just copy the text and past in google translator. You can find its meaning in a second. Thanks.
