We are currently preparing traditional Buddhist prayer wheels which contain mantras of peace, compassion and protection. These are distributed to religious practitioners and monasteries at the annual World Peace Ceremony in Bodh Gaya, India.

Nyingma Centers sponsor a variety of Buddhist activities focusing on personal spiritual growth, establishment of Dharma in the West, support of Tibetans in exile, and Buddhist cultural restoration projects in many parts of the world.

You can make a difference! Prayer wheels are used in meditation practice to focus the mind and distribute positive energy throughout the world. The preparation of the wheels, which entail attaching strips of mantras end to end and then rolling them into wheels, is itself a meditation and an offering to world peace.

Opportunities are available for longer term residential programs. This project is ideal for people interested in deepening a spiritual practice as well as for those simply exploring.

The full-time residential program includes classes, work as meditation, and participation in a cooperative Buddhist community.

Room and board, classes in basic Buddhist topics, and a small stipend are provided.

The Prayer Wheel Project is based at:
Nyingma Institute
1815 Highland Pl.
Berkeley, CA 94709
