About our Prayer Wheel
This Traditional Buddhist Prayer Wheel, measuring 7.5 cm in height and 2 cm in breadth and weighing around 0.010 kg, is made of copper or brass and decorated with artificial turquoise stones. These prayer wheels are spiritual tools used in Tibetan Buddhism to gain wisdom and merit, as well as to eliminate negativity, by spinning the wheel, which is frequently inscribed with the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and packed with mantras.
Prayer wheels are used to gather insight and merit, purge negative energies, and promote compassion. Prayer wheels are used mainly in Tibetan Buddhism and are commonly found in Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan. Devotees spin the prayer wheel clockwise while reciting prayers or mantras for purifying negative Karma.
Introduction to Prayer Wheel
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical device on a spindle, used in Tibetan Buddhism. It is typically inscribed with the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and rotated by hand as a form of spiritual practice and to accumulate merit. Spinning the wheel is believed to have the same spiritual benefits as reciting the mantra verbally. The use of prayer wheels is widespread in Tibetan Buddhism and has spread to other cultures.
How does the Buddhist Prayer Wheel benefit us?
The benefits associated with rotating the wheel are numerous. It promotes knowledge, compassion, and bodhicitta in the practitioner and enhances siddhis (spiritual powers, such as clairvoyance and precognition). The practitioner can repeat the mantra as often as possible while the wheel is rolling, maintaining a calm, meditative attitude. A Tibetan Buddhist tradition holds that after a practice session, one should dedicate any acquired merits to the benefit of all sentient beings. Then three times Om Ah Hum. This is usually among Tibetans after finishing any Buddhist practice, including the prayer wheel exercise.
