Turning a prayer wheel creates extensive benefits for all beings because prayer wheels are the manifestation of the Compassion Buddha's holy speech. As a holy object, a prayer wheel has tremendous power to eliminate the self-cherishing mind that keeps us from realizing perfect bodhichitta and thus reaching enlightenment. By turning a prayer wheel with a motivation of compassion for all beings and reciting Om Mani Padme Hum, you will accumulate extensive merit and purify obstacles.

Note: Table-top models come in two parts and can easily come apart if you lift the prayer wheel by the body only. Although he body can be replaced back on the base, we recommend that you always lift and carry the prayer wheel by the base. Please don't turn a table-top prayer wheel by its crystal since it may come loose. Instead, turn the prayer wheel by grasping the top portion of the prayer wheel to spin it. Your prayer wheel should be viewed as a holy object, kept in a respectful place, and cared for with the utmost respect.
