The Essence of Prayer Wheels in Tradition

Prayer wheels, known as "mani wheels" in Tibetan, embody a profound philosophy. Legend has it that the practice began with the Buddha's teachings. It is said that when the Buddha was in the Tushita heaven, he taught the dharma to his mother, Maya. The Tibetan monk, Thonmi Sambhota, is credited with creating the first prayer wheel after receiving teachings on the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" from the Buddha himself. It is believed that spinning a prayer wheel clockwise is equivalent to reciting the mantra contained within it thousands or even millions of times. Each rotation is thought to purify negative karma and generate positive merit, much like a pilgrim circumambulating a sacred site or a monk chanting mantras. The small bell attached to this wheel adds a gentle, melodic sound, further enhancing the meditative atmosphere, serving as a reminder of the sound of dharma. ––––––––––
