Solar Prayer Wheel with Box

A mani wheel (mani-guruma, mani-guruma) is a Buddhist implement that houses a symbolic representation of the Buddha's body, speech, and mind within a rotating cylinder.

In Tibetan Buddhism, they are called mani khorlo. Medium-sized ones, with dozens of cylinders each containing a sutra, are often placed in temples. Small, personal-sized ones, with scrolls of mantras printed on them and housed in a cylinder, are also widely popular and can be rotated with one hand.

Mani is short for Mani jewel, meaning wish-fulfilling jewel on its own. Khorlo means chakra. In Bon religion, it is called a Mashi khorlo.
In Japan, large ones containing all Buddhist scriptures are installed in major temples of Shingon, Tendai, and Jodo sects, and are called rinzo.
The practice is to rotate the mani wheel clockwise, and it is believed that the merit gained is equivalent to reciting the sutras and mantras contained within for each rotation.

This is a solar-powered mani wheel that rotates continuously with a solar panel and motor. Simply place it near a sunny window, and you can gain beneficial merit. It is a truly valuable item.
