Fill your home with the cleansing powers of prayer wheels with this Small Buddhist Prayer Wheel with Eternal Knot, ideal for use on a meditation altar.
This Tibetan prayer wheel is ornately decorated with the 8 auspicious symbols of Buddhism in the center and the mantra of compassion, around the top and bottom. This chant is thought to invoke the blessings of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara. The turquoise shape that serves as the backdrop for the wheel is the Buddhist infinity knot. This symbol represents unending wisdom as well as the endless cycle of death and rebirth. It is one of the most well-known of the 8 auspicious symbols.
