PRAYER WHEEL

 


PRAYER WHEEL

Prayer wheels are very important objects for Buddhist practice. The inside of the prayer wheel is filled with chants printed on written paper and wrapped around a central spindle. Chants like "OM MANI PADME HUM" are also written on the outside of the wheel. Buddhists believe that, by turning the prayer wheels, their defilements of the Body, Speech and Mind, will be purified and that they will gain immeasurable merits.
