This beautiful high quality pendant made of stainless steel is designed into a Tibetan Prayer Wheel engraved with the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum that can spin. It encapsulates a scroll of "Leng Yan Zhou" or the Shurangama Mantra.
The Tibetan Prayer Wheel is widely used in Tibet and in places under the influence of Tibetan culture. Using the wheel is an ancient sacred tradition and spiritual practice, used for thousands of years by Buddhists. The reason they spin the prayer wheel is that it is believed to bless the environment, distribute divine blessings, alter bad luck into that which is good, encourage body and mind healing, enhance personal compassion, as well as to help practitioners on their passage to enlightenment.
“Om Mani PadMe Hum” (derived from Sanskrit) is the most widely-known and popular mantra used in Buddhism. This six syllable phrase which can be transliterated to "Hail the Jewel in the Lotus" is an invocation mantra of the Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion who protects one from harm. The Bodhisattva vowed to free all sentient beings from suffering and is said to appear anywhere to help all beings in danger and distress. Om Mani PadMe Hum is also referred to as "The Mantra of Universal Protection".
Among the Buddha's teachings, the Shurangama Mantra is considered to be the king of mantras because it is the longest and most important. The Surangama Mantra is said to rescue and protect the world, help people obtain great fearlessness, and bring to accomplishment living beings' transcendental wisdom.
Wear this amulet for protection and blessing that is believed to ward off illnesses, fatal misfortunes and accidents. It also protects from evil spirits and ghost that harbor malice towards you.
Spin it once a day to overcome obstacles in your life.
