	Prayer Wheels... Prayer Wheels are part of "Buddhist Technology" for creating positive energy, merit, and purifying negative aspects of the mind. These wheels are filled with blessed mantras of compassion and wisdom. Of the three major prayer wheels at Land of Medicine Buddha, one of them contains 64 Billion mantras, making it the largest in the world.

	Chenrezig Sand Mandala... Chenrezig is the Buddha of Compassion and this beautiful sand mandala is a colored sand "painting" of his celestial mansion made by the careful arrangement of colored sand. The sand mandala was created by the monks from the Namgyal Monastery, Dharamsala, India (the monastery of His Holiness Dalai Lama) in 1992.
	Namgyalma Bell... Namgyalma is a feminine aspect of Buddhahood, a long-life "goddess" who also is powerful for purification and healing. The bell has her mantra in relief on the bell and as you ring the beautiful sounding bell the healing power of her mantra is sent in the environment touching all beings and bringing them closer to enlightenment.
