Prayer Wheels

The use of prayer wheels in Tibet are treated with contempt or merriment by the Western mind, but if we had the graciousness of heart to enquire the reason for this we would be given an interesting and occult explanation that in the light of this book would be easily understood.

They are covered by written layers of prayers and are the sincere appeals of the writers to their deities. These papers are impregnated by the atomic atmospheres of the devotees, and then placed upon the wheel that is set in motion. The result is that these atmospheres form one composite body that attracts atoms of a developed nature that works over this atomic mass and increases and stimulates its spiritual power. The Lama then steps into and collects these developed atoms into his own atmosphere. The Dayspring of Youth, by M
