height approx 8 inches (this is the shortest handle available)
Drum diameter approx 2.25 inches
Lightweight and easy to use, with silent action.
contains 10 Million 'Om Mani Peme Hung' mantras on microfilm
Designed for those who prefer a more understated prayer wheel. It does not contain a crystal at the apex like the other wheels in our inventory and is lighter and smaller - making it an ideal prayer wheel for travel. It is also a great size for children.
A fine natural wood prayer wheel,
finished to a standard that is way beyond what is currently available in
the marketplace. Each piece is custom made and in our opinion, they
are works of art in themselves. They are lovingly made by a husband and
wife team from natural woods and take more than one week to
complete. This includes several hours at the lathe, one week of staining
and protecting the wood, filling the drum
with mantras and choosing the right counterweight to help the wheel rotate smoothly.
The drum contains an astonishing quantity of mantras on
microfilm. Traditional wheels include mantras that have been wood block
printed on paper and therefore the number of mantras inside are limted
to thousands. Rolls of paper can often make a wheel bulky and heavy. This Chenrezig wheel contains 10 million mantras on microfilm, which
greatly increases the merit of each rotation. They are lightweight and
spin effortlessly due to the unique inclusion of the highest quality
sealed bearings. Your wheel will never need oiling and the bearings will
never get damaged. It also means your wheel runs in complete silence, with no distracting noise when you are in the midst of
your meditation practice.
A prayer wheel is an investment in your Dharma practice and
these wheels will surely be cherished by those who have the good fortune
to own one. Over the years the wood will mellow and develop its own
unique usage patina. They are truly a very skillful way of accumulating
merit in the difficult times we live in..
A minimum of 50% from the profit of each sale will be donated to worthy charities in Tibet.
Important: The wheels have been sealed permanently to give lasting protection to the microfilm. The type of counterbalance may vary between wheels.
The makers of our wheels have had the direct blessing of Ven. Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche to undertake this work.
