Behind the Prayer Wheel

Sawtooth Botanical Garden Prayer Wheel

Join the Sawtooth Botanical Garden and Maryann Chubb Thursday, March 18th @ 5:15pm for an informative talk, Behind the Prayer Wheel. Munch on some apetizers and learn more about our community resource and the significance of Prayer Wheels. This lecture is free to the public .

Maryann Chubb will be explaining the significance and history behind prayer wheels in eastern culture. A fantastic opportunity to learn more about the cultural gem we are so honored to host in the Wood River Valley.

During a private ceremony on September 13, 2005, the Dalai Lama consecrated and blessed the Tibetan Prayer Wheel at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. The 400 pound, hand carved Prayer Wheel was crafted by Buddhist monks in Dharamsala, India and is one of only two prayer wheels in North America blessed by His Holiness. The gift of the Prayer Wheel was accompanied by a larger message of healing in the wake of the September 11, 2001 tragedies. It serves as a reminder for community members and visitors alike to promote global peace and harmony through their daily actions. The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is honored to be chosen as the site for the Prayer Wheel and to have the opportunity to create a very special place for people of all faiths to come, reflect and find peace. Prior registration suggested and walk-ins welcome. To register, call 726-9358
