The Wheel of Compassion is a contemporary participatory public art initiative inspired by the traditional Tibetan prayer wheel. It reimagines an ancient spiritual form as a living, inclusive symbol for our time, inviting communities to unite around one of humanity’s most universal values: compassion.

In a world often defined by division, the Wheel offers a simple yet powerful gesture. 

With every turn, it affirms a shared truth: we belong to one human family.

Rooted in the spirit of the Tibetan prayer wheel,  which traditionally carries sacred prayers and blessings for the benefit of all beings, the Wheel of Compassion extends this intention into contemporary public life. It is created as a living symbol for the betterment of humanity, designed to serve communities through reflection, participation, and unity.

Each installation is placed in accessible public spaces such as parks, walking trails, cultural centers, educational institutions, and interfaith gathering spaces. 

The project is developed in collaboration with local faith leaders, artists, and community members so that each chapter reflects its community at its highest values while remaining aligned with the initiative’s core purpose: to awaken compassion and strengthen human connection.

The Wheel carries selected prayers and sacred texts centered on compassion from diverse faith traditions. The intention is not to blend or dilute religions, but to respectfully illuminate a value shared across traditions. 

By encountering compassionate teachings from other faiths, individuals are invited into recognition rather than comparison,  a recognition that the same essence of compassion lives within their own belief system. Through that recognition, mutual understanding and respect can deepen.
