Prayer Wheel Pendant, Brass


The prayer wheel is a Tibetan Buddhist instrument to increase the productivity of prayer. This turning pendant is inscribed with the prayer, "om mani padme hum," which means "a jewel in a lotus."  It is the prayer for the enlightenment of all sentient beings. Inside the pendant is a paper scroll with the same prayer written over and over.  The pendant can be opened, but we usually leave it undisturbed.

Script Om Pendant

"Om," is the imperishable sound of the universe at creation.  If you look below you will see that the different Om pendants all look slightly different. The letter does look slightly different from Hindi to Nepali to Tibetan script.  Also, the letter is often stylized to make it even more attractive as in the piece above.
