About our Prayer Wheel
This meticulously crafted prayer wheel for dharma stands 23.5 cm tall, 5 cm wide, and weighs 0.148 kg. It is a blend of materials with deep meaning and craftsmanship. The focal point is the prayer wheel's cylinder, which contains two rows of Tibetan mantras. This elegantly designed wheel is fixed on a silver pole that doubles as a holder. The silver permits easy rotation of the upper section, which is crafted from sustainably sourced buffalo bone and has an organic, classic feel. According to Tibetan Buddhist customs, spinning the prayer wheel with the wrist is thought to bless the surroundings, instill peace, and disseminate positive energy.
The upper half of the prayer wheel has more elaborate carving with the mantra, showing buffalo bone artistry. Delicate floral designs are meticulously carved, and silver inlays refine the prayer wheel, resulting in a balanced blend of earthiness and spirituality. Jewels, including turquoise, are placed around the prayer wheel, giving it color and enhancing its attractiveness. These stones are ornamental and symbolic of Tibetan culture and spirituality. The prayer wheel's overall design makes it a spiritual tool and a work of art.
This prayer wheel is more than simply an adornment; it is a significant ritual item in Tibetan Buddhism. Traditionally, spinning the prayer wheel to emit positive energy and blessings has been an essential element of daily prayers and ceremonies. Its creation combines cultural symbolism, meticulous artistry, and valuable design, making it a fascinating object for individuals seeking to connect with spiritual traditions or who value excellent craftsmanship. This prayer wheel is a one-of-a-kind and thoughtful piece since it is made of natural materials such as responsibly obtained buffalo bone and includes important stones like turquoise.
Introduction to Prayer Wheel
A prayer wheel is cylindrical on a spindle and is 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 the Buddhist Prayer Wheel benefit us?
The benefits associated with rotating the wheel are numerous. It promotes knowledge, compassion, and bodhicitta in the practitioner and improves siddhis (spiritual powers such as clairvoyance, precognition, etc.). The practitioner can repeat the mantra as often as possible while the wheel is rolling, maintaining a calm, meditative attitude. A Tibetan Buddhist tradition holds that after a practice session, one should dedicate any acquired merits to the benefit of all sentient beings. Then three times Om Ah Hum. This is usually among Tibetans after finishing any Buddhist practice, including the prayer wheel exercise.
