    Quite interesting. I knew nothing about these.

    I'm curious as to what the translation of Om Mani Padme Hum would be in English, and would like to read more about your personal experiences surrounding the prayer wheels. Wikipedia info is nice, and I use it often, myself, but nothing beats your own story to maintain interest. Good job.

    Tammy, it's fascinating to learn about prayer wheels and how they are used. So, for those that are hand-held, are they used over and over again and shared by visitors?

    Hi Julie. A person would buy his own hand-held prayer wheel. I mostly saw them used by elders in the community. Before I left I bought a fabulous carved bone one with silver-work and turquoise, lapis, and coral which appears in the photo of the "What are Prayer Wheels" section
