Hiking
A Buddhist prayer wheel is a wheel or cylinder containing mantras or prayers written on a paper roll, which is activated by turning. In Tibetan Buddhism, turning the wheel is considered a way to generate positive energy and accumulate karma, and is meant to harmonize the mind with physical activity. These mills come in various sizes, from small hand-operated models to large, water- or wind-powered devices.
