Tibetan Buddhist Hand Prayer Wheel
About The Prayer Wheel
Carefully made with a wood handle and a copper wheel, the Tibetan Buddhist Hand Prayer Wheel is a sacred artifact. It offers practitioners a concrete tool for spiritual practice and devotion that is portable and handheld.
This prayer wheel promotes times of prayer and meditation because of its copper wheel, which stands for authenticity and longevity, and its wooden handle, which provides a nice grasp. People perform a rite in which they turn the wheel with their hands in an effort to call forth blessings and spiritual merit.
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 Prayer Wheel benefit us?
The spiritual practice used by people who use a prayer wheel is highly particular. The practitioner rotates the wheel clockwise since the mantras are inscribed in the direction of the sun's journey across the sky. It is essential to focus the mind and say the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra as the practitioner revolves around the wheel. This not only increases the merit obtained by using the wheel, but it is also a mind-stabilization approach that trains the mind while the body is in motion.
