Himalayan Prayer Wheel
About The Prayer Wheel
The carefully carved Himalayan Prayer Wheel, which is made of a combination of brass and copper, is evidence of the region's rich spiritual traditions. Standing 16 centimeters tall, it is a physical representation of adoration and respect in Himalayan tradition.
A holy phrase that has been painstakingly inscribed inside the wheel is intended to invoke merit and spiritual favors. Rotating the wheel is a time-honored practice that practitioners engage in, hoping to strengthen their spiritual journey and establish a connection with the divine. The Himalayan Prayer Wheel is a religious item that can be used for personal meditation or displayed as a symbol of Himalayan spirituality. It is said to be a means of achieving inner peace and enlightenment.
Introduction to Prayer Wheel
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel 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.
