Tibetan Prayer Wheel Plated Silver Pendant
1 x 3 cm
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Newari language of Nepal, on the outside of the wheel.
Buddhist texts teach that mindfully turning a prayer wheel produces the same merit and benefits as having recited the number of prayers (mantras) inside the prayer wheel multiplied by how many times the prayer wheel spins around. This is accomplished through the clockwise turning of the prayer wheel which activates and releases the power of the mantras inside. Deities, Enlightened Beings, Bodhisattvas, Dakinis, and Dharma Protectors automatically help us when we turn a prayer wheel.
