Prayer Wheels: Resources and Information

Prayer wheels are filled with mantras traditionally printed on strips of paper and
tightly rolled around the core. These days mantras are reproduced onto microfilm;
the more mantras, the more powerful. Prayer wheels can be small enough to be held
in the hand, table-based or can be very large containing billions of mantras.
