Tibetan Buddhists' life with prayer wheel

It is very common to meet a Tibetan with a prayer wheel in hand when you are travelling in Tibet. This is Tibetan Buddhists' life with prayer wheel. The Prayer Wheel plays a very important role in Tibetan Buddhist Tradition. We even can say Tibetan people cannot lead a life without prayer wheel. 

The Prayer Wheel has been used for over One Thousand Years by Buddhists and people from all walks of life, including many of the great Yogis of Tibet like Marpa and Milarepa. The practice of turning the Prayer Wheel, or even wearing or having in one’s home, is said to be of immeasurable benefit for oneself and others. Buddhist teachers and the ancient texts expound the profound benefits of the Prayer Wheel for its ability to quickly harmonize the environment, increase compassion, encourage a peaceful state of mind, and assist practitioners on their journeys to enlightenment.

Tibetan people begin to do pilgrimage from childhood and will not stop doing it until the end of their life. Cease to the pilgrimage and cease to the life. I am sure you will be touched by Tibetan people's piety if you make a tour to Tibet and get close to these devout Tibetan Buddhism followers.
