Thank You All :-)

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I was talking to a dear friend about our prayer wheel project and we got into a deep and meaningful conversation about the whole thing called Prayer Wheel.

He was amazed to hear about the benefits of this holy object and the benefits of constructing them.

He asked me how many we have made over the 3.5 years of our project and I said about 200. He also wanted to know if we made such wheels and sent them to teachers and I counted the list for him, he was quiet amazed! And I must say that so was I! When I got to think about all those prayer wheels turning in the hands of all those masters and people I was overwhelmed…

So, I wish to thank ALL the good people who chose to have one of our prayer wheels, thank you for performing the task of praying for all beings, through all of you many blessings come into existence for the sake of all beings.

Thank you so much, and may there be many more prayer wheels to come!

Your friend,

Micha Strauss

Ayelet's 7th wheel

Hi everyone!

This beautiful prayer wheel was made for my wife Ayelet… and now is the time to tell a small story about her prayer wheels.
For an unknown (to me) reason, every wheel I make for her soon leaves her. This wheel is her 7th so you can catch my drift…
Someone ALWAYS comes and sees her wheel and needs it now! Either because he is leaving today to some other country today or needs to ship it immediately to some other country, or a Rinpoche is here in Israel for two days and the sanga wishes to give him a prayer wheel made here in Israel, or for many other reasons…. Every wheel she gets, leaves.
Now, with this wheel she has declared that it is staying with her no matter what!
We will see….
Enjoy!

The New Website!

Hi everyone!

After 3 years of working "underground", we have a new web site! It holds all of our art work, be it prayer wheels, wooden boxes or Ayelet's paintings, all in one place.
Soon, after some red tape gets sorted, we will have a paypal button there and buying will become SO easy! Just press a button and you are ready to go! This is going to be much more relevant for today's customers....
So, enjoy this new site and let everyone know it's up and running!

Hi there everyone!

Just wanted to tell you what is happening with us here in Israel in the world of prayer wheel making…
We are receiving so many orders, it feels as if a damn broke and the flood is coming! That is amazing! For the past 3 years that we are making prayer wheels as a side occupation, we have managed to produce 182 prayer wheels to date! That is just incredible considering that we make them only on weekends since our day jobs are so demanding….
For the past 3 weeks we have been working very hard to set up the studio we received from the Kibbutz we live in and it is coming along great! It is almost ready… we are so excited!
From the 20th of April to the 30th we are traveling to the USA for a 10 day traveling exhibition of Ayelet's art work, so we will not be able to make prayer wheels at that time. Hopefully all the open orders will be ready and shipped out by then, but since we have SO much to do before we go it is unknown at the moment… we will see…

That is all the news for now, I will keep you posted as things move forward, and in the mean time just remember, YOU are in control! No one else is… make the most of the time you have left in this body.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some photos of Lama Tsering Rinpoche when he came to our yurt for a cup of tea and an encompassing explanation about life in the Kibbutz and what it's like today, 75 years after "birth"... we all had a great time!
