If you have a mani prayer wheel in your house, your house is the same as the Potala, the pure land of the Compassion Buddha.

If you have a prayer wheel next to you when you die, you don’t need powa. Having the prayer wheel itself becomes a method to transfer your consciousness to a pure land.

Simply thinking of a prayer wheel helps a dying person to shoot the consciousness up the central channel and out through the crown to reincarnate in the pure land of Amithaba or the Compassion Buddha.

Your prayer wheel begins as a beautiful piece of wood in it’s natural state.

Legacy Prayer Wheels offers handmade prayer wheels, according to traditional Tibetan Buddhist specifications, and made in accordance to the instructions of Venerable Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

These prayer wheels are handmade, and truly unique, unlike any other wheel ever made. Legacy prayer wheels are made exclusively from sustainably harvested wood, by doing this we avoid the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance in our planet. This means that woods used in our Prayer Wheels are never harvested from living trees. Our wood comes from reclaimed trees, creating the cycle of and rebirth into beautiful prayer wheels – Samsara.

In many cases we use the “burled sections” of these trees. These burls are the wood fibers that trees produce in order to heal themselves when injured, and during this process, creating areas of beautiful wood grain. Our prayer wheels include aircraft grade stainless steel bearings to assure years of smooth turning. The finial on the top of each prayer wheel is adorned with a hand created finial, or Swarovski lead crystal.

Inside each prayer wheel you’ll find the life tree mantra, earth and sky mandalas, which were drawn by Venerable Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and the Mani mantra’s written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before being placed on microfilm (microfiche).

Our Mani prayer wheels contain tens of million’s, and even up to several billion’s of the Tibetan Buddhist mantra “Om Mani Padme Hung.”

These mantras are reproduced on microfilm (microfiche) to allow for millions / billions of mantras to fit inside each prayer wheel.
