Benefits of Prayer wheels

My Prayer wheel from Nepal.

The prayer wheel is an upright cylindrical wheel which can be spun around on a spindle .
It encloses powerful mantras written on a paper or a film and the prayer drum is supposed to be rotated clockwise to generate positive vibrations.
When they are turned smoothly with a calm mind the power of the mantras have a healing effect on the person and the surroundings.
The teachings of  the venerable Lama Zopa Rinpoche  emphasizes that  this Dharma wheel protects  us from all obstacles and the people around the Mani wheel are blessed.That home which houses this wheel will become similar to the Land of Potala.or the abode of Avalokiteshwara or the Compassion Buddha.
