Once in a while something amazing happens ... something that can not be explained by my logic or my common sense... i am always amazed when such things happen... what amazing karma!
I must say that truly, I have no way to explain such happenings other than very good karma from past lives ... no other way to explain it :)
Crafting a special prayerwheel

A close and good friend was about to go to Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche's Odiyan center for a 6 months stay and practice. A few months before he was planning to go, he asked us to craft a very special prayerwheel that was to be offered to Rinpoche. Of course, we were so honored and humbled that such a request has arrived at our door step! Holy moly....
We felt confident that we can produce such a prayerwheel and hoped that Rinpoche (who is a master prayerwheel maker and an advocate of prayerwheels) would like it...
So we set up to craft it. Our friend's request was of Ayelet to do her magic with the pyrography pen and to create the art on the prayerwheel using drawings from Rinpoche's many books. And so she did not sleep for a few days but made it! Her gifted hands made this masterpiece come to life :)

Mantras inside it
Inside, our friend requested the prayerwheel to have:
the Mani mantra
the Vajra Guru mantra
the 7-line prayer
Vajrasattva mantra
the Lord's prayer from the Christian faith
the Shir Lamaalot from the Jewish faith
the Surat El Fatiha from the Muslim faith
a special blessing poem from the Jewish faith
Lakota people prayer knots for world peace.
Wow! What a compassion bomb! Amazing....
We did as requested and the prayerwheel was made and ready for the picking up and traveling :)
It came out stunning!!!
Our friend left and traveled to the Odiyan center.

After about a week or so he sent us a most overwhelming message. The prayerwheel was offered to Rinpoche and he loved it! He was so happy that such a prayerwheel has been constructed for world peace and in Israel! What joy!
What an honor.... thank you dear brother for giving us this opportunity to be a part of something so amazing! We are in your debt :)
Here 👇 are some photos of it and a short clip of it spinning (in my hand). Enjoy!
