Prayer Wheel

A prayer wheel is a traditional spiritual tool used in Tibetan Buddhism, designed to amplify the power of prayer and meditation. Typically cylindrical and mounted on a handle, these wheels are inscribed with the sacred mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” and often contain scrolls of paper or cloth with similar mantras written on them. When spun, it is believed that the prayers are released into the universe, multiplying the effects of the mantra. This practice is seen as a way to accumulate wisdom, purify negativity, and generate good karma. Prayer wheels come in various sizes, from handheld versions to large, ornate wheels found in monasteries. They are an integral part of Tibetan Buddhist rituals and are revered for their symbolic representation of the Buddha’s teachings. Spinning the wheel with pure intentions is thought to spread compassion and positive energy to all beings, making it a powerful tool for personal and collective spiritual growth.
