On Prayer
"One single grateful thought raised to
heaven is the most perfect prayer."
G. E. Lessing
German Dramatist
(1729 - 1781)
"Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action."
"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of
the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in
prayer to have a heart without words than words without a
heart."
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian Philosopher
(1869-1948)
"Prayer is an important practice that serves to
internalize the ideals of the Buddhist path."
G. R. Lewis
Buddhist Faith
Fellowship Founder
"Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift
of himself. "
Mother Teresa
(1910 - 1997)
"To be a Christian without prayer is no
more possible than to be alive without breathing."
Rev. Martin Luther King
Minister and Civil Rights Leader
(1929 - 1968)
"No prayer is complete without presence."
Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
Persian Sufi Mystic
(1207-1273)
"In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart."
John Bunyan
Puritan Minister and Writer
(1628-1688)
"Our prayers must mean something to us if they are to mean anything to God."
Maltbie Davenport Babcock
Presbyterian Minister and Poet
1858-1901

This
mantra and other sacred symbols are typically found on the
exterior of the prayer wheel. Most of the prayer wheels we
have seen are perhaps 12 inches long, but many larger and
smaller prayer wheels are also available. The mantra is
positioned so that it can be read through an opening on the
cylinder when the wheel is spun clockwise. 
The
Prayer Wheel pendant is essentially a miniaturized version
of the prayer wheel. It provides a container for the mantra
and can spin on a central rod, much like a full-sized prayer
wheel.
