The Prayer Wheel

The Prayer Wheel


Buddhism


The Prayer wheels, Mantra  Om Mani Padme Hum are written on them, made of wood and metal at Mindrolling  Monastery.

The Wheel also known as the "Mani Wheel", has the main concept of " turning the wheel of Dharma".
According to previous traces found in history, they are founded by Indian Master "Arya Nagarjuna".
It is used by the people to purify the soul and accumulate the Good Karma from the Negative Karma.
Practitioners spin the wheel as many times as they would like to repeat the Mani Mantra, making the Practitioner calmer and more peaceful.


The mantra invokes the spiritual power and blessings of "Chenrezig", the collection of compassion.  In the words of one  Chenrezig are the awakened nature of each being's own mind, the love, and compassion present in the dharmakaya. Chenrezig is within us because love and compassion are not qualities added to the mind," but are inherent in our true nature.
