This is a kind of Tibetan Peayer Wheel product.Now I will tell you a product .It’s name is Meaningful Prayer Wheels.
The ancient texts tell us that the Prayer Wheel was brought to our world by Nagarjuna, a famous Indian Buddhist scholar, philosopher, and yogi. Nagarjuna is associated with the rise of Mahayana Buddhism during the first century B.C.E. and is well known as the founder of the Middle Way school of Buddhist philosophy – which all currently existing schools of Tibetan Buddhism accept as the most profound of all philosophical views. Nagarjuna was filled with great compassion and concern for others. He was an extremely gifted and intelligent teacher who thought continually about how to best benefit others. Nagarjuna’s teachings not only began one of the greatest philosophical traditions of all time, but also contributed immeasurably to a cultural transformation that spread the Mahayana Buddhist vision of universal responsibility and compassion for all life throughout most of Central and East Asia.
The prayer wheel lineage was brought to Tibet by the renowned eight century Indian Buddhist teacher Padmasambhava, and later practiced by the great Indian tantric Buddhist masters Tilopa and Naropa. Naropa’s disciple Marpa later renewed the lineage in Tibet and passed it on to Tibet’s most well known yogi, Milarepa. Since that time the Prayer Wheel has been passed on through a continuous lineage of enlightened teachers, among these the great Kagyu master Karma Pagshi, whose important works are quoted by most subsequent writers on the subject.
So you will know that it is a very special Tibetan Peayer Wheel product .

Tibetan Prayer Wheel, a holy objct. In Tibet, you could see most people play pray wheels. A prayer wheel is of a hollow metal cylinder, often beautifully embossed, mounted on a rod handle and containing a tightly wound scroll printed with a mantra. Prayer wheels are used primarily by the Buddhists of Tibet and Nepal, where Hand-held Prayer Wheels are carried by pilgrims and other devotees and turned during devotional activities. According to Tibetan Buddhist belief, spinning a prayer wheel is just as effective as reciting the sacred texts aloud. This belief derives from the Buddhist belief in the power of sound and the formulas to which deities are subject. For many Buddhists, the Tibetan Prayer Wheel also represents the Wheel of the Law (or Dharma) set in motion by the Buddha. The prayer wheel is also useful for illiterate members of the lay Buddhist community, since they can “read” the prayers by turning the wheel.

- Prayer Wheel Sacred Mantra
It is important to make perfectly and print clearly for Tibetan Prayer Wheel. We have found that many of the prayer wheels available for sale these days in Asia and the West are rarely filled or made properly. They are usually being sold as tourist items. Often the prayer wheels are filled incorrectly, with mantras printed unclearly, upside down or inside out. As the Buddhist commentaries explain, the use of such improperly filled wheels is unlikely to bring about the desired effects. Thus it is important to be sure that your prayer wheel has been verified to be properly filled with the proper mantras, including the earth and sky wheel mantras that go on the top and bottom of all authentic prayer wheels.
Prayer wheels are usually filled with the mantra of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of great compassion. OM MANI PADME HUM. So much of the spiritual power of the Tibetan Prayer Wheel derives from the power of this Prayer Wheel Sacred Mantra that by connecting with the energy of the prayer wheel one is connecting with an outer manifestation of unlimited enlightened compassion, and is awakening one’s own highest potential – one’s Buddha nature. So you must check carefully when buy the prayer wheel in the stores.

- Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Wheel
There must be something that you don’t know about the Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Wheel, now let’s read it together. Buddhist teachers and the ancient texts expound the profound benefits of the Tibetan Prayer Wheel for its ability to quickly harmonize the environment, increase compassion, encourage a peaceful state of mind, and assist practitioners on their journeys to enlightenment.
It is suggested that one recite the six-syllable mantra – Om Mani Padme Hum – while turning the prayer wheel. The Tibetan commentaries state that the benefits of doing so are immeasurable. This is the mantra of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, and it is recited continually by many Tibetans. One also finds it carved on rocks, written on prayer flags, embossed on jewelry, and inside of most prayer wheels. Among Tibetans it is commonly known as the mani mantra, and thus prayer wheels are often referred to among Tibetans as mani wheels.
Mantras are strings of syllables empowered by enlightened beings to benefit others. “The word mantra’ means ‘mind-protection’. It protects the mind from ordinary appearances and conceptions” that characterize the ongoing cycle of samsaric suffering. Different mantras are said to bring different benefits, with regard to the mani mantra, Kalu Rinpoche notes that it is “extremely powerful” and “can be used by one and all” to speed their path to enlightenment. His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche wrote, “The mani is not just a string of ordinary words. It contains all the blessings and compassion of Avalokiteshvara,”
The role of mantras in Buddhist practice is often not well understood in the West. It has been scientifically documented that mantra recitation produces significant psychological and physiological relaxation, and statistical analyses have shown that meditation with traditional mantras produces a greater reduction than other kinds of meditation (including mediation with randomly selected Sanskrit syllables or with personally selected English words). Westerners have tended to emphasize the relaxing effect of mantra recitation in their understanding of this practice. From a Tibetan Buddhist perspective, such relaxation is not the goal of mantra recitation; rather it is a positive but minor side effect. You should know the effects of the Tibetan Prayer Wheel when you decide to buy it.

Antique Prayer Wheel is very popular among the poor-sighted, hard of hearing, and the illiterate. It is a common means of rogation for Tibetan Buddhists. In the streets, squares and monasteries of Tibet, you can always encounter some Tibetans turning Prayer Wheels by the right hand and beads by the left, while still murmuring the Mantra ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’.
The Tibetan Prayer Wheel is shaped like a bucket, with an axle in the middle and a handle at the bottom so that the wheel can be rotated with the hand conveniently. It is generally made of bronze, gold and silver. The outer surface is usually inscribed with delicate patterns and mantras, while rolled sutras are put inside. Rotating a Tibetan Prayer Wheel can accumulate many merits for the Tibetan. It is said that rotating Prayer Wheel for a full-circle equals reciting sutras once. Buddhists follow clockwise while followers of Bon counterclockwise.
The Hand-held Prayer Wheel is of limited size. The larger ones can be measured in meters, and are usually made of bronze and wood. They often line the passages of monasteries and shrines for worshippers to push when passing by. A Prayer Wheel can also be driven by an outside force, such as wind, water and fire, which will then be sanctified by touching the wheel and send the good to every being it touch later.
