Dharma Wheel

Hi my fellow vajrayana practitioners I just ordered a new ghau, and I'm going to fill it up. But I'd like some advice on what to put in it. The last one I had I used a piece of a cord that was blessed by an extremely high lama, some Chulen pills that had thousands of blessings, and some written mantras.

Any other ideas?

Best,
Laura

A beautiful little prayer written by you for genuine comfort

the sick ones, disabled ones, poor ones, beings helpless suffering in the darkness of afflictions.

relics of buddha or great masters; or their clothes.
'dharmakaya relics'= buddha's words would be also good.

In tantra, some mantras are said to be benefitial to wear on you, such as pratisara dharani.

other than these, anything blessful would be fine, such as mandala sand, blessed pills, small status... etc

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it

Of course I'd put mantras in it but this gives me other ideas as well.

Maybe you should put some emptiness in it.

where is without emptiness?

Hi Laura

I put my refuge string in mine, with the blessings of one of my teachers, and it feels good, "right" if that makes any sense.

Liberation through wearing maybe.

You can always fill it up with WMD ND-la

P.S WMD=Weapons of Mara Destruction

That's neat, thanks

All good suggestions!

I would add:

Anything that relates to/reminds you of your lama..

So many wonderful ideas! Thanks all!

Sorry for sounding dumb, but how is a ghau most commonly used/worn? I haven't heard of these before and they sound like a wonderful item to have. And is there a particularly reliable seller that is worth checking out?
Thanks,
