Hi,
Prayer wheels are my hobby, there are so many benefits. A prayer wheel blesses all the insects on the ground and in the area, besides all the people who turn it. It is such a great blessing for the area. It is a quick way to liberate sentient beings from the lower realms (which is where they have been for numberless times) and enlighten them.

This is a quick way to enlighten oneself and others, because turning the wheel, you are reciting manis as much as possible. Turning it one time you get the benefit of many years of retreat in a few seconds. It is unbelievable purification and one can collect skies of merits, not only atoms of merit but the size of mountains.

Why? Because you receive blessings from the heart of the Compassionate Buddha, this is a quick way of developing compassion. Because of that, one is able to develop compassion more quickly for sentient beings and help sentient beings to reach enlightenment more quickly.

I send much love and prayers,

Lama Zopa

PS. You can use this and other quotes to raise money for the prayer wheel.
