Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Wheels

Many Chinese traditional items attract me attention such as Tibetan Prayer Wheel, Tibetan Jewelry and so on.
Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Wheels always fascinated me. I have always been drawn to tangible ways of sending energy into the universe.
When I first moved to my heart’s home in the Himalayan foothill village where His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama has lived in exile since 1959, I was drawn to the, to me, mysterious  Tibetan Prayer Wheels around the local Buddhist temples.
Some are colorful, some metallic. Some are large, others hand-held. Some simple, others fabulously ornate.
All are inscribed with the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”…
At first I had no idea how to use them properly. It seemed like some super-secret ritual, one you had to be initiated into.
But it’s not.

Sacred and Mysterious Prayer Wheel

Sacred and Mysterious Prayer WheelYou know Sacred and Mysterious Prayer Wheel? Several people know. I search something about Tibetan Prayer Wheel and share it with you.
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 traditional prayer wheel practice – Is to spin the prayer wheel in a clockwise direction, recite the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM and visualize pure white light rays being emanated out from the spinning prayer wheel, this pure light comes from the millions of mantras inside the prayer wheel and goes out to ourselves and all sentient beings, purifying, healing, completely illuminating everyone, as the light rays spread throughout the whole vast universe we all instantly become awakened and realize the Immeasurable of Love, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity.
Now you can also get a Tibetan Prayer Wheel and feel its sacredness and mystery. Our online store provides various types for you.
