About Chakras

Tibetan chakras are traditional protective talismans/amulets that contain miniature mandalas and circular mantras of a specific Buddhist deity. Called sungkhor in Tibetan, which literally means “protection wheel”, each mandala is folded in a prescribed manner, accompanied by recitations of prayers and mantras. It is then wrapped with colourful strings to create a unique handwoven design.

Finally, the completed chakra is consecrated by lamas and monks to invoke the deity’s energy and blessings. As a result, chakras of different deities have specific benefits based on the enlightened quality that is typically associated with that particular Buddha-deity.
