Fu Sculpture with Buddhist Prayer Wheels in Background, Kathmandu, Nepal
Fu are Chinese Guardian Lions, placed outside buildings to protect them. This stone fu is protecting a small courtyard temple. Behind the statue are three prayer wheels. The wheels have the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum on the outside, and are filled with pieces of paper on which further mantras are written. Spinning the wheel in a clockwise direction earns the same merit at saying the mantra hundreds of times.
