Description

There are rows of prayer wheels in Kagbeni.

A prayer or mantra is always written on the outside of the cylinder. According to Tibetan Buddhism , spinning a prayer wheel has the same effect as saying the appropriate prayers or mantras. The grinder must then be turned clockwise, otherwise the lettering will be read backwards.

When someone starts spinning , he has to pronounce the inscription . It should be addressed again when it's finished shooting. In the meantime, the mill can be turned as often and as quickly as you like.
