PRAYER WHEEL - by YTC SUMMIT
A prayer wheel is a 'wheel' (Tibetan 'khor) on a spindle made from metal, wood, leather, or even coarse cotton. On the wheel are depicted or encapsulated prayers, mantras and symbols such as the Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning such a wheel will have much the same effect as orally reciting the prayers. From the spiritual world of the orient, comes this fascinating prayer wheel, lavishly decorated in faux versions of the original materials of coral, turquoise and Tibetan silver. This religious prayer wheel measures 9 inches tall by 7 3/4 inches wide.
