Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Well what else would you buy in Tibet other than a prayer wheel. This is 12" long by 3 1/4" in diameter, it was about $15 US and is hand made.
Tibetan prayer wheels (called Mani wheels by the Tibetans) are devices for spreading spiritual blessings and well being. There are rolls of thin paper, imprinted with many, many copies of the mantra (prayer) Om Mani Padme Hum, printed in an ancient Indian script or in Tibetan script wound around an axle in a protective container and spun clockwise around and around. Prayer wheels are used to accumulate wisdom and merit (good karma) and to purify negativities (bad karma). |
