How should the prayer wheel be turned?

Both hands can turn, but they must turn clockwise. Turn slowly, smoothly, slowly and quickly. Seen from the top of the prayer wheel, it rotates clockwise. Be careful not to turn it upside down, head and tail upside down.

When holding the prayer wheel, don't rush to hold the handle with your thumb. The thumb must be flat and held with the other four fingers. The scripture in the prayer tube must be guaranteed not to be reversed. It doesn't matter if the electric prayer wheel makes a sound, but the manual prayer wheel can't make a sound. ?

Extended data:

There are large and small prayer wheels, and the small one can be held in your hand. The small one is hand-cranked, and the big one is fixed on the wheel frame of the temple. Whether it is manual or fixed in a temple, the structure of the prayer wheel is similar.

There are scriptures written in Tibetan. Because most Tibetans were illiterate in the slavery era, they put the scriptures in the prayer wheel, which is equivalent to chanting them once every turn.

The prayer wheel has a rotatable shaft, which needs to be updated every time it turns to a certain number of revolutions, so that Tibetans can know the number of times they recite the scriptures.

Although the small prayer wheel turns quickly, people who believe in Tibetan Buddhism think that it can't be compared with the big prayer wheel, because the big prayer wheel is engraved with more curses and contains more curses than the small prayer wheel, and the trajectory of a turn is much larger than that of the small prayer wheel.

In addition to being keen on turning the hand-cranked prayer wheel anytime and anywhere, people will also set aside a fixed time to turn a larger prayer wheel. Large prayer wheels are generally concentrated around temples, and there are special prayer wheels corridors. Rows of countless warp tubes are arranged neatly and fixed on wooden shafts. At first glance, it is both spectacular and mysterious.
