Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Prayer wheels are used by many Tibetans everyday, sometimes for hours on end. Worshippers turn prayer wheels to accumulate merit, to help all beings in the world and to purify their karma (intentional actions). They are part of a meditation practice.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inside each prayer wheel cylinder is a tightly wound roll of printed mantras. Mantras are short Buddhist invocations of several syllables. Each of the 1, 400 paper sheets within each cylinder is printed with about 23, 000 of these mantras. This means that each cylinder contains 32, 200, 000 printed mantras!
