Description
Vajrasattva Maple Burl Prayer Wheel
This our standard size handheld prayer wheel. This perfect size was developed over many years of trial and error. It is large enough to contain a substantial amount of mantras, yet small enough to carry around easily and also be spun for hours without resulting in fatigue.
The handle length is between 5 and 6 inches. The handle has an ergonomic grip which comfortably facilitates the slight muscle movements needed to spin the prayer wheel without it feeling awkward in the hand.
Inside this prayer wheel contains 28 million Mani mantras and 400,000 Vajrasattva mantras, printed on microfilm. It spins effortlessly on high quality lifetime ball bearings using a lapis lazuli as a spinner.
The top is a nipple, special design for our teacher, Garchen Rinpoche. As he said it: “The nipple on top reminds us of our mother’s, the nipple is Tara.”
Note: Burlwood is inherently imperfect and almost always has holes, voids and bark inclusions. This imperfection is what gives figured woods their beauty. We fill voids with a black or colored epoxy and stabilize all pieces to be as durable and lasting as any piece of wood. Make sure to look at the pictures and be aware of this before deciding that a burlwood prayer wheel is right for you.
All our prayer wheels are finished with a non toxic all natural wood finish and produced with 100% renewable electricity. Made with love in Portland, Oregon. USA.
