A Ghau (also spelled Gau or Gao) box is a traditional Tibetan prayer box. Tibetan portable or traveling shrine Ghau is a Tibetan Buddhist amulet container or prayer box, usually made of metal and worn as jewelry. Tibetan generally keep three types of Ghau; those used in the Monasteries for empowerment ceremonies, those used by practitioners as traveling devotional shrines, and those worn by nomadic men and women with long strands of Tibetan Turquoise and red Coral beads, dzi, amber, and other precious stones. The inside of the Ghau is usually used to keep the most sacred treasures of the nomad: Buddha Statue, Dalai Lama’s picture, blessed seeds from monastery or empowerment ceremonies, thread crosses, gems, herbs, prayer flags, hand-written mantras and other amulets of various sorts. Wearing them close to the body near the sacred centers and with strands of large natural beads keeps the spiritual blessing radiating from the aura, something characteristic of the Tibetan people in general.
On the front of this box is the mantra Om Mani Padmi Hum which means "Hail the Jewel in the Lotus," a tradional Tibetan prayer for blessings and compassion. The sides of the box are plain with beautiful border and the front part of this Ghau Prayer Box is decorated with two Buddhist deities with elephants below and with flower and other beautiful designs on all over.
As used in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia, the Gau box usually contains a written prayer or a sacred yantra diagram such as the kalachakra. The prayers and yantras are usually hand inscribed or block-printed by a priest and they are always blessed before use.
