Tibetan pilgrims & prayer wheels
The Dalay

            it h
 present w
 p hotos from
                en
 t he time wh
                ed
  h e was forc
                 t
  to  leave Tibe
Postrating The devotees making a pilgrimage repeatedly measure out
their length over their entire journey.
They often wear hand shoes to protect their hands
Tibetan Buddhists believe, that the making of one hundred prostrations is
the first step to acquire a vast number of merits and will bring a profound
purification
This pilgrim has a prayer wheel and Tibetan prayer beads
Tibetan pilgrims & prayer wheels
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel on a spindle made from metal,
wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra “Om
Mani Padme Hum” is written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel
            Hum
Acording to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning the wheels, will
have the same meritorious effect as orally reciting prayers
Prayer wheels are used to acumulate wisdom and merit (good karma)
                                                           karma
and to purify negatives (bad karma)
                             karma
The practitioner most often spins the wheel clockwise, as the direction
in which the mantras are written is that of the movement of the sun
across the sky
This woman, dressed in
a mixture of occidental
and Tibetan manner,
was a pious pilgrim with
a bracelet of Tibetan
                        d
prayer beads in her han
 while going round the
 cylinder wheels at the
 Jokhag Monastery

I was told, that the pilgrims believe, that they, by their oscillating and the
spinning of their prayer wheels ,rouse the movements of the planets in the
heavens…
…, the
     dance

    the
    electro

Each revolu
             r
of the praye
wheel is as
               as
 meritorious

  This means that the more Om Mani Padme Hum mantras that are inside a
  prayer wheel, the more powerful it is
