By turning the prayer wheels clockwise, it is believed that the mantras inside are activated and released. The mantras are said to purify negativity, generate compassion, remove barriers to enlightenment and bring benefit to all sentient beings. Buddhists believe that mindfully spinning a prayer wheel produces the same benefits and merits as orally reciting the number of mantras inside the prayer wheel. The more revolution one makes the greater the merits. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/601801af5d14073e224ba723/t/6050d4aa1ff73a6ab7cc7020/1615910630281/C396B440-11FE-448F-AB5F-C3F386593D2D_1_105_c.jpg journal - bhutan At the revenue & customs check post of Phentsholing, you’ll find the above instead of instead of beer or soft-drink advertisement. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/601801af5d14073e224ba723/t/6050da41bb796f06d8785a82/1615911833804/23D922A4-ABF6-465B-9A9F-DC6C27D5BA2C_1_105_c.jpg journal - bhutan People wear the National Dress during working hours In another attempt to preserve the Bhutanese culture, locals here are mandated to wear the traditional dress during work hours and while entering any place of worship. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/601801af5d14073e224ba723/t/6050d719545a8b15f53234a7/1615912060459/D4AA91C4-BFEB-47C9-9D8B-27E059863936_1_105_c.jpeg journal - bhutan Prayer flags come in horizontal or vertical forms.
