Tibet-Tech Prayer Wheels at Earth Sanctuary

The Tibet-Tech prayer wheels at Earth Sanctuary needed some refurbishing. They are now reinstalled by the dolmen and the Cottonwood Stone Circle. These are the most powerful prayer wheels in the world. Come and spin the prayer wheels for the benefit of all beings, everywhere.

I have to believe as the whole issue with CDs was explained to H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya that if this were in any way incorrect it would be picked up quite fast, needless to say the whole process of making them. I think its wonderful and while nothing can replace meditation and insight, prayers wheels both help purify and bring merit to all beings and ones self, one of the whole core practices of Buddhism and something these do wonderfully!

Thanks for the video!

Excellent comment and thoughts! Thanks, Chuck

My name is Tenzin Konchok. You are saying that you told H.H.

Jigdal Dagchen Sakya that specifically CD's do not have the mantras facing outward as in the lineage text instructions that instead there is just the thin rim. You told him this specifically? I am curious. How many people elected you as "President" of Sakya Monastery? Monasteries don't usually have Presidents. Buddha gave up his title of Prince and King though it is appropriate to refer to him as Lord Buddha.

Yes, Dagchen Rinpoche is well aware that the mantras are not literally facing outward. His view is that if the person spinning the prayer wheel has the correct intention, then the mantras emanating from the prayer wheel will benefit all beings. Similarly, if you think that such a prayer wheel will not work, it will not. All comes from the mind. I was chosen to be president of the Sakya Monastery Board of Advisors by H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya.

[cpettis]

Yes, we explained to H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya about CDs at the very beginning of the project. I'm curious, what is your name? -Chuck

[Buddhawisdomrules]

Did you study the prayer wheel lineage text or not? There's no hiding behind titles. (In this age the title President usually means the person has inferior mental faculties.) You neglect to follow the prayer wheel lineage text therefore due to insecurity you write titles rather than learning. To help you I recommend "Wheels of Great Compassion" by Lorne Ladner. Please swallow your pride and learn what enlightened beings have taught about prayer wheels.

[cpettis]

The prayer wheel was created under the direction of H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, co-throne holder of the noble Sakya lineage that is revered for its holiness and extends back for over a thousand years. We did extensive research on prayer wheels from ancient Tibetan Buddhist texts as well as from "Wheel of Great Compassion." Lama Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche was also kind enough to provide us with the excellent article, "Prayer Wheels of the Nyingma Centers." Kind regards, Chuck

The healing subtle electromagnetic frequency generated by your prayer wheel is 1324, 1513 Hz.

[Buddhawisdomrules]

And yes, all comes from the mind. That's why there are Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Yogis, Siddhas, Mahasiddhas, and Buddhas. These Dharma titles are based on levels of realization. Arhat realizing the egolessness of the self, Bodhisattva realizing the egolessness of both self and phenomena, etc... President is a worldly title that is meaningless in terms of mind levels-look at Bush and Nixon.

Couldn't they come up with something more spiritual? It sets the wrong precedent. (Excuse the pun.)

[Buddhawisdomrules]

If that is the case, then you proclaiming that your prayer wheel is the most powerful is merely wishful thinking. Padmasambhava, Nagarjuna, the Lion-faced Dakini all were very much involved with prayer wheels. And today various great beings like HH Garchin Rinpoche spin prayer wheels. Since they're realized beings with much more powerful minds than you than their prayer wheels are much more powerful than your CD mantras-facing-the-wrong-way prayer wheels. It's not a numbers game.

[Buddhawisdomrules]

All Nyingma and Sakya prayer wheels are created according to the lineage instructions meaning that the mantras "must face outwards". Tibetan Lamas are not expected to know about the technology of CD's. Did you know before you started that mantras must face outwards and did you explain to your Lama that CD's do not face outward before you started your first prayer wheel? "Under the direction".. does not mean you gave him accurate info from the start. Did you? Yes or no?
