Buddhist monks believe that the prayer wheel practice is an extremely quick, simple and profound method for developing compassion and wisdom. It is suggested that one recite the six-syllable mantra – Om Mani Padme Hum – while turning the prayer wheel.

Prayers support in finding the clues while hope is not lost to reach the shores.

Displacement doesn't behold reaching the stars far away as The Creator knows the best for those who worship Him.

Thus purify thou-self with Ablution to become able to explore His servant within.

Day ninety-seven/365. Happy Thanksgiving! A "clothesline prayer" can be great to do with a group because it promotes both participation and a visual representation of the quantity and variety for which the praying community just gave thanks. Last night, I handed out brightly colored slips of paper and asked each person to write something for which he or she is thankful. Then, I collected them. Reading them aloud one-by-one, I pinned them to a clothesline, suspended between two microphone stands.

 

Went back this morning and photographed the clothesline, in natural light. I'll use the photos later, in Powerpoint, to remind folks of our abundance.

I've always loved Islamic prayer rugs, both the individual ones and the wall-to-wall rugs seen in mosques. Their colors and designs give me a sense of peace and well-being.

Iv'e been saving this one for quite a while, but today I called in at the Cathedral where this was taken in Wakefield to say a prayer for the thousands made homeless by the tragic earthquake in Haiti.

 

My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.

 

Like myself please donate to the many charities that are co-ordinating aid to the people of Haiti.

I carved the Lord's Prayer in this oak faced pallet which I found washed up on a beach in Ibiza, Spain. It took me a week, a line a day roughly, using just a stanley knife to carve the lettering. It was a joy to do it. I started it on the beach and then moved up into a forest overlooking a beautiful bay. A very tranquil week's work!

Beautiful prayer wheels in Kyoto, Japan in 2007.

since I like to knit, the Prayer Shawl Ministry seemed like a natural thing for me. about the time that I joined, some one near to me lost a child. so it occured to me that I needed to make this stole for her.

I hope that it brings her some grace.

One can see prayer flags all around the country encrypted with scared Buddhist prayers. It is a Bhutanese tradition to erect prayer flags and is accepted belief that this process will purify oneself, wash away the sins and bring lots of good luck.

A prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain, valleys, ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. Buddhism believes that Prayer flags are simple devices that, coupled with the natural energy of the wind, quietly

harmonize the environment, impartially increasing happiness and good fortune

among all living beings

Flags contain pretty pieces of colored cloth with including the ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols. Buddhism believes that prayer flags produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the countryside.

The Tibetan word for prayer flag is Dar Cho. “Dar” means to increase life,

fortune, health and wealth. “Cho” means all sentient beings.

The silent prayers are blessings spoken on the breath of nature. Just as

a drop of water can permeate the ocean, prayers dissolved in the wind extend to fill all of space.

The prayer flag tradition has a long continuous history dating back to ancient

Tibet, China, Persia and India. The tradition has now reached the West and is

rapidly gaining popularity.

No cameras allowed inside, though photographing the prayer circle is okay. It is meant for meditation & reflection, not photo-ops.

 

Stones assembled near the start of the wall, resembling faces, eyes - a haunting image. Soon as I saw them a chill passed over me. Very powerful.

 

The wall is a tribute to Tom Hendrix's great-great-grandmother, a Yuchi who was born in what is now NW Alabama. She was removed int what became known as the Trail of Tears, but eventually walked back all the way from the Oklahoma territories. His wall was built one stone at a time, just as her journey was made one step at a time. And just like her journey, it winds, has high spots & low spots.

 

He has rocks from 127 States, countries & islands, including stones from the Arctic & Antarctic, the top of Everest, & the bottom of the ocean. I'm planning to send him some mahogany obsidian from Northeast California, maybe several others from my collection.

 

It has received recognition as a significant piece of environmental art. The wife of Alabama's Governor Bob Riley wanted to turn it into a tourist destination, but Mr Hendrix refused. That's not what the wall is about.

One can see many walking around with these attributes around mosques. Taxi drivers hang their praying beads around the mirror, others tend to fiddle the beads with their fingers. In Catholic tradition the rosary has the same meaning, used to count the amount of prayers. Strange how seemingly distant traditions seem to entangle themselves into a common ritual. As if a sophia perennis exists, connecting the many roads leading to the Great Mystery.

During the prayer walk, students, staff and faculty prayed for the new school year.
