Prayer Wheels New Arrivals July Specials

		If you have a mani prayer wheel in your house, your house is the same as the Potala, the pure land of the Compassion Buddha. Simply touching a prayer wheel brings great purification of negative karma. Turning a prayer wheel containing 100 million om mani padme hum mantras accumulates the same merit as having recited 100 million om mani padme hums. Prayer wheels also stop disease. Anyone with a disease such as AIDS or cancer, whether or not they have any understanding of Dharma, can use the prayer wheel for meditation and healing.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
