At Rumtek Monastery, Sikkim, india.
These prayer wheels are built around Buddhist Monasteries or Stupas. These rows of large stationery wheels attached to wooden platform which people can spin clockwise while they walk around the building, chanting the Mantra which is considered very beneficial.
OM MANI PADME HUM
In the translation of
a text by the Fourth Panchen Lama, Amitabha Buddha says “Anyone who recites the
six syllables while turning the dharma wheel at the same time is equal in
fortune to the Thousand Buddhas.” In the same text Shakyamuni Buddha says
that "turning the prayer wheel once is better than having done one, seven,
or nine years of retreat" The prayer wheel is a very powerful merit field;
one accumulates extensive merit and purifies obstacles.
