Buddhist Prayer Wheels In Front Of The Temple Jade-gold Statue Of The Goddes Guanyin In The Nanshan Park. On Prayer Wheels Mantra Stock Photography

A prayer wheel is a cylindrical. At the core of the cylinder is a `Life Tree` often made of wood or metal with certain mantras written on or wrapped around it. Many thousands or in the case of larger prayer wheels, millions of mantras are then wrapped around this life tree. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.
