Prayer Wheels Samye-Ling

Ever revolving Prayer Wheel containing 21 billion prayers on 45 miles of microfilm, 3 each for everyone in the world for a time yet. Endemic in Tibetan Buddhism is the use of Prayer Wheels, powered by Water, Wind, Electricity, hands, indeed anything that will cause it to revolve clockwise, this one is electrical. The aspiration, wish of mind radiates for the benefit of all sentient beings. A static view.
Stupa Prayer wheel.

Hand powered prayer wheel. All of these were made in north fife, I enjoyed and learned a lot in the making.
