Stupa at Letzehof

Buddhism means the teachings of the historical Buddha. These teachings are also called Dharma. How did Buddha himself describe his teachings? He did so in the following words:
Do nothing unwholesome, and do wholesome things, tame your mind completely, that is the teaching of the Buddha.

Prayer Wheels at Tashi Rabten Letzehof
Highlight • Religious Site
Everyone has probably heard the expression "to repeat something like a prayer wheel". However, there is a deep meaning behind this sentence, because in Buddhism prayer wheels are an important object for practicing faith.
What is a prayer wheel?
A prayer wheel is also called a mani wheel or mani wheel and is a roller or wheel that contains a roll of paper. Prayers or mantras are printed on this roll of paper. The prayer wheels are often elaborately decorated with prayers. Prayer wheels come in different sizes. Especially in the Himalayan states of India, Nepal, Tibet and the Kingdom of Bhutan, the paths are often lined with man-sized prayer wheels. Many of these large wheels can be found at stupas or temples and are housed in colorfully decorated houses. According to Buddhist belief, it brings good luck to set them in motion by hand. Some prayer wheels are also powered by the power of wind or water. In addition to the larger mills, small hand mills are also very popular.
