Prayer wheels are the easiest way to recite the mantra without actually learning it. The metal exterior is carved with the sacred "Om Mani Padme Hum" and there are scrolls of the sacred texts inside. Turning the wheel once in a clockwise direction is equivalent to reciting the hymn and the text. It sure is an easier way to earn merit than actually chanting the mantras. They come in various sizes as you will no doubt see along the trail. Make sure to earn some merit when you see one.
