Prayer Wheel House
As people walk around the Stupa clockwise reciting prayers, their path
takes them through the Prayer Wheel House, where they turn the prayer
wheels as they go. The prayer wheels are at the front of the
building. The back part will have drawers where the ashes of the
deceased will be kept. The prayer wheels contain millions of mantras
(short prayers) for peace and compassion which have been inscribed on
paper soaked in saffron water and blessed in a special way. As one
turns the prayer wheel clockwise it activates the blessing of the
mantras, tramsmitting the energy of peace and compassion in all
directions.
