This Tibetan prayer wheel is ornately decorated with the 8 auspicious symbols of Buddhism in the center and the mantra of compassion, around the top and bottom. This chant is thought to invoke the blessings of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara. The turquoise shape that serves as the backdrop for the wheel is the Buddhist infinity knot. This symbol represents unending wisdom as well as the endless cycle of death and rebirth. It is one of the most well-known of the 8 auspicious symbols.

Buddhist spinning wheels, known as "mani wheels" in Tibet, are intended to spread prayer into the world. By spinning the wheel, the inscribed prayer and its associated effects are released into the world.
