Prayer Wheels are commonly used in the Buddhist Religion as a praying tool.As you can view in the images,the handwork is very fine with incredible detailling. It's a great piece of valuable collection, a valuable personal alter or a very good present ! Don't miss out this chance to get it ! Prayer wheels, called Chokhor in Tibetan, are very common religious objects in Tibet. A hand held prayer wheel is a hollow wooden or metal cylinder attached to a handle. Om Mani Padme Hung mantras are printed or etched in relief on the cylinder. Attached to the cylinder is a lead weight with a chain, which facilitates the rotation. Tibetans use prayer wheels to spread spiritual blessings to all sentient beings and invoke good karma in their next life. They believe that every rotation of a prayer wheel equals one utterance of the mantra, thus the religious practice will in return help them accumulate merits, replace negative effects with positive ones, and hence bring them good karma. The religious exercise is part of Tibetan life. People turn the wheel day and night while walking or resting, whenever their right hands are free while murmuring the same mantra. Buddhists turn the wheel clockwise. Bon followers turn the wheel counter clockwise. Prayer wheels vary in size and type. Not all prayer wheels are hand held. It is common for bucket-sized prayer wheels to be lined up on wooden racks along walking paths circling monasteries and other sacred sites, for the benefit of visiting pilgrims. Larger water, fire, and wind prayer wheels are built so that they are empowered by the flowing water, the flaming light, and the blowing wind which drive them, and can later pass their positive karma to all who touch them. THE CORAL，we know that CORAL as an aquatic animal often exiting in branched or tree form, it sometimes shares the symbolism of WATER and the TREE. Its symbolic content also embraces the vegetable, mineral, and animal realms, since it looks like a plant and has a hard, calcified skeleton inhabited by living tissue. CORAL was credited with the power to destroy bad energy vibrations. All coral will help support your physical energy and relax your tensions after a long, hard day. Always prided by the Tibetans as a very sacred energy stone with all the powers and symbolism of nature being connected to earths animal, plant,mineral and sea kingdoms offering a unique energy of support. TURQUOISE, It is EXCELLENT for spiritual attunement, for healing and cleansing of both the energy centers and the physical body, and for providing PROTECTION. IT has been said that turquoise changes color to warn of impending danger and/or to indicate infidelity in thought or action. It can be used to protect against environmental pollutants as well. Turquoise is a HEALER of the spirit, providing for a soothing energy and bringing peace of mind. It has been known to guide one through the unknown, protecting while promoting ones independence in action. It was used in ancient times to insure property and to protect against accidents. It has been esteemed, by the Tibetan Shaman, as holding both a spiritual and protective property.
