prayer wheel manufacture nepal

History

  • A Chinese pilgrim traveling through Ladakh, Tibet, wrote the first description of a Tibetan prayer wheel in 400 A.D.

Features

  • The prayer wheel consists of a hollow cylinder that spins on an axle or handle. The cylinder, which is usually embossed with Tibetan or Sanskrit script, contains a scroll printed many times with a mantra.

  •  

Significance

  • Spinning the wheel is the equivalent of saying the mantra aloud. The prayers are equal to the number of times the mantra is printed on the scroll.

Effects

  • Most prayer wheels contain the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum," which means, "Oh, Lotus Jewel, Amen." The prayer invokes the blessings of Chenrezig, the deity representing compassion.

Types

  • Prayer wheels can be several feet high and stationary, like those found in temples. Buddhist pilgrims often use hand-held wheels. Digital versions, including prayer wheel screen savers, are also available.

Considerations

  • Prayer wheels are always spun clockwise to allow the syllables of the mantra to travel in the direction that they would be read.
