Introduction to Prayer Wheel
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle used in Tibetan Buddhism. It is typically inscribed with the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and rotated by hand as a form of spiritual practice and to accumulate merit. Spinning the wheel is believed to have the same spiritual benefits as verbally reciting the mantra. The use of prayer wheels is widespread in Tibetan Buddhism and has spread to other cultures.

How does Prayer Wheel benefit us?
The spiritual practice used by people who use a prayer wheel is highly particular. The practitioner rotates the wheel clockwise since the mantras are inscribed in the direction of the sun's journey across the sky. It is essential to focus the mind and say the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra as the practitioner revolves around the wheel. This not only increases the merit obtained by using the wheel, but it is also a mind-stabilization approach that trains the mind while the body is in motion.
