Prayer Wheels – Compassion and Good Karma
A prayer wheel is a hollow cylinder, often beautifully embossed and usually made of metal, mounted on a rod handle and containing a tightly wound scroll printed with a prayer or mantra. The printed scrolls are wrapped around an internal center core which is known as a Life Tree.
The purpose of the prayer wheel is to relieve suffering in the world by radiating peace and kindness. Tibetans believe that the more times you spin a prayer wheel with sincerity, the more positive the effect will be in the world and your own karma.
