There
is a longstanding Buddhist tradition of using prayer wheels. The spinning
wheel containing a mantra or prayer (often Om mani padme hum) is considered
the equivalent of reciting the prayer out loud. This may well be of
Tibetan origin although many are now produced, like ours, in Nepal.

We
stock a range of designs of Buddhist prayer wheels. The top photo
(left) shows a design with a decorated metal wheel on a wooden handle.
Inside, the wheel is filled with a coil of papers with prayers written
on them. There is a weight on a chain on the side of the prayer
wheel. By swinging the handle the weight swings around and turns
the drum.

This
design of Buddhist prayer wheel (centre left) is made
of metal decorated with coloured beads. The wheel is decorated with
copper and brass auspicious symbols and rests on a brass base.
The
wheel is spun using loop shaped handles on the sides. Buddhist prayers
or mantras are inside the wheel.
On
the right is a wooden prayer wheel with a wooden weight to spin
the wheel with its carved auspicious symbols.

Buddhist
monasteries sometimes have huge wheels kept rotating by being pushed
by people entering or leaving. There are also wheels running twenty
four hours a day driven by watermills. Unfortunately we cannot supply
water mills or prayer wheels that are too large to post, but please
do have a look at our Buddhist
