Compact Table Top Prayer Wheel

Compact Table Top Prayer Wheel

This is a compact sized table top prayer wheel. It is 4 inches high.

Tibetan prayer wheels contain a rolled up scroll printed with prayers, the most common being Om Mani Padme Hum. Om Mani Padme Hum, meaning the Jewel Within the Lotus, is the mantra of Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of universal compassion. It is said to contain the entire path to enlightenment within it's syllables. The mantra helps the one who repeats it to achieve a deeper connection with their own divine consciousness.

A prayer wheel can easily contain forty thousand mantras, and so, a few minutes of turning the prayer wheel will repeat the mantra millions of times. The act of spinning the wheel (in a clockwise direction so the mantra will pass before your eyes in the direction you would be reading it) brings merit and blessings. These blessings radiate out into the environment, filling the world and the heavens with sacred invocations and blessings for the benefit of all.

It feels great to turn this little prayer wheel for a while and know you are sending much needed blessings out to the world.
