The eternally moving prayer wheel in Buddhism is the symbol of the cycle of life and death, Kaalchakra (the circle of time), which never ends. The ritual of meditation with the prayer wheel is a way to focus and contemplate on this ceaseless movement and look within for a solution to this meaningless life and death. Carrying the profound wisdom of Buddhism, this exquisite prayer wheel from Nepal is made with brass, with an antique finish, and coral and turquoise pieces.
The prayer wheel is placed on a simple base, which makes it portable and easy to place in your space. Crafted ornately, the prayer wheel is marked by the image of the Buddha with the Vajra on the upper and lower rows. Buddha is the most divine symbol of Buddhism, whose enlightened powers are manifested in the Vajra or thunderbolt. These images are followed by lines of Buddhist syllables, outlining the Ashtamangala, or eight auspicious signs in the center of the wheel. As one rotates the wheel, the eye becomes focused on the Buddha, and the Vajra, accompanied by the Ashtamangala make the ritual immensely fulfilling.
