The Tibetan people put the scriptures in the prayer wheel, and every turn is equivalent to chanting the scriptures once, that is, reciting the Six-character Daming Mantra several hundred times. Some people also use water power and light heat energy to make water-to-woolen tubes and light-to-woolen tubes respectively to recite the Six-character Daming Mantra from generation to generation.

There are all kinds of large prayer wheels in temples in Tibet. For example, outside the western wall of Potala Palace, there is a row of prayer wheels. Tibetans want to turn their right hand clockwise and mumble six words of truth: hum, hum, baa, baa.
On the left side of the main entrance of Jokhang Temple, there are two huge prayer wheels. They are very heavy, and a tall Lama in a scarlet robe is turning them hard. In Jokhang Temple, there is a circle of prayer wheels around the temple. Tibetans who come here to worship should walk clockwise and move with their hands to make them rotate with the six-character mantra they read.
Whether it is manual or fixed in a temple, the structure of the prayer wheel is similar. There are scriptures written in Tibetan. Because most Tibetans were illiterate in the slavery era, they put the scriptures in the prayer wheel, which is equivalent to chanting them once every turn. The prayer wheel has a rotatable shaft, which needs to be updated every time it turns to a certain number of revolutions, so that Tibetans can know the number of times they recite the scriptures.
