Prayer wheels

Good selection of Prayer wheels including hand held, standing Prayer wheels and with stone inlay. With Mantras on outside and rolls of mantra within. A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum written in Sanskrit or Tibetan on the outside of the wheel. At the centre of the cylinder is a “Life Tree” often made of wood or metal with certain mantras written on or wrapped around it. Many thousands (or millions in the case of larger prayer wheels in Gompas/Monasteries) of mantras are then wrapped around this life tree. The Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is most commonly used, but other mantras may be used as well.
