Hand Held Tibetan Prayer Wheels
 Our authentic hand held Tibetan Prayer Wheels are a combination of ancient tradition and modern technology, handcrafted in the Himalaya region of Nepal, bordering Tibet. They are then specially filled with over 20 Million copies of the Mantra:
 OM MANI PADME HUM |
This Mantra was written by His Holiness The Dalai Lama specifically for the purpose of duplicating as many times as possible for use in the Prayer Wheels. Using special equipment, the Mani Mantras are microprinted, they are then properly placed in the prayer wheel. According to tradition, the more mantras that are wound inside a Prayer Wheel, the more beneficial it becomes - microprinting allows us to put Millions of Mantras in every Prayer Wheel.
The Prayer Wheel plays a very important role in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Brought to our world by one of the most renowned historical Buddhist teachers, Nagarjuna, it has been used for over a thousand years by the great Yogis of Tibet, including Marpa and Milarepa, as well as people from all various walks of life. The practice of turning the Prayer Wheel, or even wearing or having in one’s home, is said to be of immeasurable benefit for oneself and others. Buddhist teachers and the ancient texts expound the profound benefits of the Prayer Wheel for its ability to quickly harmonize the environment, promote healing, increase compassion, and assist practitioners on their journeys to enlightenment.

All our prayer wheels have been made and filled according to the detailed instructions in the Tibetan Buddhist Commentaries. Made with the proper earth and sky wheels, the method for making our Prayer Wheels has been verified by Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche; and every Prayer Wheel we offer has been checked for authenticity by Ven. Lhundrop Kelsang.

The traditional prayer wheel practice is to spin the prayer wheel in a clockwise direction, recite the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM and visualize pure white light rays being emanated out from the spinning prayer wheel, this light comes from the mantras and goes out to ourselves and all sentient beings, purifying, healing, completely illuminating everyone, as the light rays spread throughout the universe we all instantly realize the four immeasurables of love, compassion, joy and equanimity.
