Buddhist practices in Nepal

Most of the population in Nepal, as in many other parts of South-east Asia, is Buddhist. This is apparent in almost every place you arrive to. Even along the most remote places of the country, you will always find along the way prayer wheel such as the one in the pictures. Each prayer wheel has a prayer written on it. Turing the wheels as you walk besides them, is more or less as good as praying the prayers inscribed on them. For people like us that do not know a single word in Phali - the wholly language of the Buddhist prayers - it is pretty nice way to do our daily prayers. And, if you really want to do it right, always walk around the prayer wheels so that they are to your right side. This is the right way to move them.
