About our Prayer Wheel
The 25cm Cylindrical Prayer Wheel is intricately inscribed with the sacred mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum," a powerful invocation tied to the pursuit of enlightenment. This ritual item carved with 90% silver, featuring original Stone: Turquoise, Coral is traditionally used for personal meditation and prayer, serving as a tool to focus the mind and foster spiritual growth. Spinning the Wheel is believed to embody the teachings of the mantra in tangible form, spreading compassion, wisdom, and positive energy throughout the world.
The wheel's circular motion also symbolizes the cycle of samsara—the continuous loop of rebirth, death, and rebirth. In Buddhism, turning the prayer wheel is seen as an act that mirrors the spiritual journey toward enlightenment and liberation from samsara's endless cycle. Furthermore, it serves as a living representation of the three core tenets of Buddhism: mindfulness, which encourages awareness and presence in each moment; compassion, which fosters loving-kindness towards all beings; and the quest for enlightenment, the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice. This small prayer wheel holds profound spiritual significance despite its modest size, acting as a constant reminder of these core principles.
Introduction to Prayer Wheel
A prayer wheel is cylindrical 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 verbally reciting the mantra. The use of prayer wheels is widespread in Tibetan Buddhism and has spread to other cultures.

How does Buddhist Prayer Wheel benefit us?
The benefits associated with rotating the wheel are numerous. It promotes knowledge, compassion, and bodhicitta in the practitioner and improves siddhis (spiritual powers such as clairvoyance, precognition, etc.). 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 at the completion of 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.
