Show Faithful Tibetans Carry Prayer Wheels to Spin Every faithful Tibetan Buddhist carries a prayer wheel, which he constantly spins round. The Tibetans Ti-betans believe in constant prayer, saying that the more often you pray the more likely are your prayers to be heard. So inside every prayer wheel are hundreds of tiny pieces of paper, pa-per, each one bearing the prayer "Ora Mani Padme Hum," which, being interpreted, means "O, the Jewel in the Lotus." Every time the wheel is spun round, all the pieces of paper rotate, so that each turn means that hundreds of fluttering pieces of paper have sent their prayer to Heaven. |
