In Tibetan Tantra it also depends on the deity practiced, some turns clockwise and some turns counter-clockwise.
在藏系的密續中也是依所修法的本尊而有的順時鐘向轉，有的逆時鐘向轉。
In Buddhism, clockwise is the norm.
佛法中，順時鐘是通則。
But in doing salvation activities, in order to counter the hindrance, it can turn counter-clockwise. So in this case, Green Tara is mainly to help solve sentient beings' problems, so the wheel turns counter-clockwise.
然而在從事救渡的事業時，為了回遮障礙，是可以逆時鐘轉的。因此在目前這件事上，由於綠度母主要是要幫助眾生解除困難，所以咒輪是逆時鐘旋轉。
You have many questions because you want to compare with many things. If you follow one thing at a time, then there is no problem.
你之所以會有這麼多問題，是因為你要和許多事情一起比較。如果你一次只依循一件事，那麼就沒有問題了。
May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!
願一切眾生早日成佛！

尊貴的上師，
一般上，藏傳之咒輪多是向左轉，也即是逆時鐘方向包括綠度母咒輪、大白傘蓋佛母咒輪及藥師佛咒輪。
而我們網頁上之咒輪，大都是向右轉的，即順時鐘方向。如中文版百字明咒輪、淨土咒輪、龍王咒輪、上師心咒咒輪及藥師佛咒輪，甚至包括了藏字之咒輪如：文殊證契儀軌、阿彌陀佛證契儀軌、白度母證契儀軌，還有最近上師敬繪之〈度母壇城〉，也是向右轉（順時鐘）。
如今，惟獨此〈綠度母修法〉中之咒輪，必須根據藏傳的改為向左轉，即逆時鐘方向。是不是說咒輪向左或向右轉都可以？請恕弟子愚昧，因弟子有些混亂，請上師慈悲指點！
法安
