The bajra with word prayer wheel boasts an intricate design featuring bajra carvings on the cylindrical wheel’s upper and lower parts, while sacred mantras adorn the middle section. The use of rich red and blue stones adds to its aesthetic appeal.
The prayer wheel holds deep religious significance. It is believed that with every spin of the wheel, the mantras written on rolled lokta paper inside the cylindrical body revolve around. This act is thought to spread positive energy and blessings to all, with each rotation being equivalent to reciting the mantra multiple times.
The mantra associated with the prayer wheel is linked to the Bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara. It is believed to have the power to purify negative emotions, promote compassion, and lead to spiritual awakening.
The prayer wheel is a fundamental element in Tibetan Buddhist practices and can be found in monasteries, temples, and homes. Larger prayer wheels are often mounted on monastery walls, allowing people to spin them as part of their daily rituals or to accumulate merit and blessings.
The prayer wheel serves as an excellent gift for both art enthusiasts looking to enhance their home décor and individuals seeking to deepen their religious and spiritual convictions.
