PRAYER WHEEL INSTRUCTIONS
The “Welcome Home” Prayer Wheel
How to use the prayer wheel:
-
Think of a prayer, write it on a piece of paper, and put it in the top of the wheel.
-
Or, think of a prayer and send it to the top of the wheel.
-
Spin the wheel, touching only the green bands at the bottom.
Buddhists believe that as the wheel is spinning, your prayer will go up to heaven.
