This rhythmic mantra is used to express the desire to seek enlightenment and love through each syllable. It is said that reciting this mantra while playing the singing bowl (aloud or mentally), reinforces the idea of improving the clarity of body, mind, and speech in the reciter's life. ♥ Dharma Wheel This symbol is perfect for those looking to follow the "right way of living" or the "path of rightness". The wheel can be compared to the "taking control of your life" which is a very significant decision to make in your life. It is said that playing a singing bowl with the Dharma Wheel on it will help clear your mind to be able to pursue new changes in your life. Thank you for reading!
