Tibetan Items
Tibetan Buddhist Chanting?
I was listening to some Zen relaxation music and came across this video of a Buddhist chanting and he’s spinning something.
Wondering what is the item he is using there, what’s it for?
I’m learning the meditating but it’s not quite working for me yet.
That’s a prayer wheel. The writing on the outside is a prayer or mantra, and by spinning it, it basically has the same effect as chanting it. I’ve also heard the idea of the spinning motion “purifying” the air in a metaphysical way, but I don’t know if that’s just a notion attached on later by new-agers.
By the way, there’s a funny scene in the movie “The Golden Child” where Eddie Murphy sees people in the temple spinning the wheel as they talk to the monk, so when it’s his turn to talk he moves it back and forth like a scratch record, and raps over it.
