Prayer wheels are an important element of Tibetan Buddhist practice, and they are very holy objects. They are cylinders filled with compassionate prayers known as mantras; when a prayer wheel is turned, blessings spread to surrounding sentient beings and the general environment. The blessings are multiplied by the number of prayers inside the wheel, thus multiplying the benefits. The teachings say that whenever a prayer wheel is spun, that location becomes a blessed holy place. Merely turning a prayer wheel brings great purification of negative actions, benefit beings in the lower realms and accumulation of merits.
