Prayer wheels stand as a remarkable embodiment of Buddhist ingenuity, a technology that magnifies the spiritual devotion of believers to extraordinary proportions, potentially reaching the realm of millions. At their core lies the ingenious incorporation of mantras—sacred incantations intricately tied to specific deities. Take, for example, the revered mantra of Avalokiteshvara, "Om mani padme hum."
This sacred formula is meticulously transcribed onto delicate tissue paper, replicated ceaselessly, and sometimes amassed into millions. These intricately inscribed mantras envelop a central spindle, their sanctity safeguarded by a protective cylinder. Thus, the prayer wheel becomes a conduit through which countless prayers and blessings are continuously offered to the universe.
