Visit of the 14th Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Prayer Wheel

The Garden of Infinite Compassion was built in anticipation of the visit of the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso on September 13, 2005. During his visit, the Dalai Lama blessed the garden. A significant feature of the garden is a finely carved Tibetan prayer wheel, weighing 400 pounds and filled with over a million mantra writings, which was gifted to the garden on this occasion.
