Gorgeous Tibet Prayer Box

There has been debate over whether the prayer box originated in the Buddhist or Hindu faith, but these prized religious objects are treasured today by many faiths, and even by nonreligious individuals. Originally worn as a religious ritual object, prayer boxes are now used primarily as jewelry and worn for sentimental, not religious, purposes.

Traditionally, prayer boxes are used by Tibetans as portable shrines where prayers and sacred relic are kept. These prayer boxes marry that traditional concept with the Tibetan fascination for beautiful Jewelry. Tibetans write their wishes and prayers on a piece of paper and put it into the prayer box which they wear daily. By so doing, they believe that their godliness will be invoked in protecting as well as realizing the prayer or wish.

Prayer boxes come in many styles, shapes, sizes with different beautiful Tibet Gemstones. Nowadays Many individuals use prayer boxes as jewelry, and for no other purpose. Smaller boxes are usually used as charms on a bracelet, whereas larger boxes are typically used as the centerpiece of a necklace.
