Welcome
Prayer Wheels are tools or devices designed to spread Spiritual Blessings and evoke general well being.
A typical prayer wheel of old consisted of rolls of thin paper imprinted with multiple copies of the
Tibetan Mantra Om Manu Padme Hum. The printing was in ancient Indian or Tibetan script.
These rolls of paper were wound around an axle then placed in a protective container, and spun.
Tibetan Buddhists believe saying the Om Manu Padme Hum mantra out loud or silently envokes the
blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Spinning the written form of the mantra in a
prayer wheel is also believed to have the same effect.
The earliest written account of prayer wheels
date back to the year 400 AD.
