The cylinder, along with the mantra roll it contains, can be kept turning clockwise with a slight rotation of the wrist.

Every spin of the wheel is akin to reciting the number of mantras it contains and is a powerful method for purifying negative karma, accumulating merit, and creating a strong connection to this Tantric Buddha.
