  1. Prayer Wheel Fund Building 100,000 prayer wheels around the world to increase compassion and cultivate world peace

  2. Lama Zopa Rinpoche established the Prayer Wheel Fund in 1994. The aim of the Fund is to provide the resources for the creation of 100,000 prayer wheels around the world higher than 6ft, with some wheels placed under the ocean. The prayer wheels contain the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion, ommanipadme hum, printed many millions or billions of times on paper or microfilm.

  3. Benefits of prayer wheels Turning the prayer wheel is a powerful way to purify karma and collect skies of merit. This is because you receive the blessings of Compassionate Buddha, so it is a quick way of developing compassion and bringing all sentient beings to enlightenment. Prayer wheels can also be used for healing by turning the prayer wheel while doing meditation and reciting mantras. New prayer wheel at Root Institute, Bodh Gaya, India

  4. One of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's heart projects is the building of prayer wheels and other holy objects around the world. Rinpoche has inspired the construction of many large prayer wheels including those at: • Kopan Monastery, Ganden Yiga Chozin and Lauwdo Gompa, Nepal • Chenrezig Institute, Australia • Dorje Chang Institute, New Zealand • Three prayer wheels at Land of Medicine Buddha, USA • Root Institute, India • Osel Ling, Spain • Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, Italy • Amitabha Buddhist Centre, Singapore Prayer wheel at Kopan Monastery, Nepal

  5. Anybody who sees this prayer wheel Anybody who uses this prayer wheel Anybody who remembers this prayer wheel Anybody who turns this prayer wheel Will be liberated from rebirth in the lower realms Will find immediate faith in the Dharma Will complete the Path to Enlightenment Will complete wishes according to the Buddhadharma This world, this country, this house where the prayer wheel is, will experience inner prosperity, outer prosperity, peace and happiness. Lama Zopa Rinpoche's prayer for the prayer wheel at Dorje Chang Institute, New Zealand

  6. Lama Zopa Rinpoche has said Simply touching a prayer wheel brings great purification of negative karma. Turning a prayer wheel containing 100 million ommanipadme hum mantras accumulates the same merit as reciting that many mantras. Anyone with a disease such as AIDS or cancer can use the prayer wheel for healing. For example, sick people could come to centers with prayer wheels for several hours every day to turn the wheel and do healing visualizations.

  7. An easy way to collect merit Rinpoche has said that as one doesn’t need two hands to talk on the phone, so one hand can be turning a prayer wheel, in this way purifying yourself and all beings. Beams emit from the prayer wheel and purify yourself and all sentient beings of the six realms. They achieve all the realizations, especially great loving kindness, compassion and bodhicitta; the whole path, the five wisdoms etc. Lama Zopa Rinpoche has always travels with at least one prayer wheel (currently three) and spends some time most days turning the prayer wheel.

  8. “If you have a prayer wheel in your house, your house is the same as the Potala, the pure land of the Compassion Buddha. If you have a prayer wheel next to you when you die, you don't need po-wa. Having the prayer wheel itself becomes a method to transfer your consciousness to a pure land. Simply touching a prayer wheel brings great purification of negative karmas and obscurations.”Lama Zopa Rinpoche KirtiTsenshab Rinpoche turning silver prayer wheel that Lama Zopa Rinpoche always travelled with

  9. The inconceivable merit of building a prayer wheel is not limited to the person who physically builds it; those who support the project financially, materially, or through prayer receive equal benefit!
