The Mantra's Journey

Prayer wheels, known in Tibetan as *mani chos ‘khor* ("wheel of dharma"), are a significant aspect of Tibetan Buddhism and its related cultures. The concept stems from the Buddhist belief that the repetition of mantras brings about positive transformation and spiritual merit. Traditionally, prayer wheels contain tightly rolled scrolls of mantras, often the mantra of compassion, "Om Mani Padme Hum." The rotation of the wheel is believed to have the same effect as reciting the mantra aloud, sending vibrations of peace and compassion throughout the world. The origin of the prayer wheel is often attributed to the great Buddhist master Nagarjuna. Legend has it that Nagarjuna was visited by celestial beings who showed him how to create and utilize prayer wheels. These devices were seen as a way to spread enlightenment and benefit all beings, even those who may not have the time or ability to chant mantras extensively. With each revolution of this wheel, visualize your prayers carried on the wind, reaching out to touch the lives of all beings with compassion and kindness. It is a powerful tool for personal transformation and the cultivation of inner peace.
