A Humple Pilgrim.

Stands in front of a massive Mani wheel in an enclave of the Jokhang Temple, Lhasa, spinning a hand-held Mani wheel. These wheels have long pieces of scripture wound around the inside, usually with the mantra 'Om Mani Padme Hum' written continuously in Tibetan or Sanskrit the length of the scroll. The Mani wheels are always spun from right to left, or clockwise, as are the pray beads progressed through, while reciting this mantra.

Aside: the native religion of Tibet before Buddhism was introduced from India, Bön, also used the swastika symbol, but is distinctly different as it is written counterclockwise.
