The third important component of Buddhism- Prayer wheels. Anyone can spin them if it's to the right. Remember, don't go back that way!
It was getting dark as we arrived at our last Mandalay temple-stop of the day, but fortunately the rains held off. We positioned ourselves on the upper balcony of a modest monastery - who's name I don't know - and waited as a young monk struck a metal bong repeatedly with a heavy wooden striker. Quietly, walking barefoot, maroon-robed monks emerged from all directions, and lined up to enter the prayer hall, where they sat for meditation, chanting and prayers.

The prayer cloth is covered with flames of people who are inspired by the Holy Spirit in our parish.
I'm almost ashamed to tell you guys that this trinket of mine has gathered dust. But I look at this whenever I feel a little lost and need some answers.

Prayers & Light Rise Up
I took my troubled feelings to Nan Puoto Temple yesterday to join the prayers of others for relief of the suffering caused by the earthquake and other recent disasters. While quietly sitting alone outside and listening to the monks chanting I noticed how all the light and prayers around me were rising up, up...
this one is particularly for Susan

Prayer & Light Rises Up
Please see all together in new set
People pay a bit of money at the shrines and get these wooden things to write their wishes or prayers on. They are then hung near the shrine in hopes that they come true...

There is a large prayer drum on the verandah of the main shrine at Puh Toh Tze temple, the type they show you in the movies an all. My, that thing would create quite a racket if banged on. A small notice at the base of the drum of course asks visitors not to bang on it. Not there there are any drumsticks around though. This temple appeared to be a rather scaled down version of the large Taoist temple I'd seen in Cebu in the Philippines in May 2013. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013)
I bought this prayer wheel from Darjeeling, during my trip to Darjeeling/Sikkim in December, 2006.
A prayer wheel (called mani chos-'khor or Mani wheel by the Tibetans) is a wheel on a spindle made from metal, wood, leather, or even coarse cotton. On the wheel are written or encapsulated prayers or mantras. According to the Tibetan Buddhist belief, spinning such a wheel will have much the same effect as orally reciting the prayers.

Love this colorful plant with red veins on multi-colored green leaves! And my favorite part is that the leaves move! Up at night as if they are praying and then back down in the morning again. I've had a prayer plant in my home for over thirty years.
