Turning The Wheel



If you've ever visited a Buddhist temple you might have seen devout turning wheels. On the wheels are depicted or encapsulated prayers, mantras and symbols. According to tradition, spinning the wheel will have the same effect as orally reciting the prayers. Nevertheless, I was more than surprised to discover today that you could actually turn your computer hard drive into such a wheel. If you fancy a computer generated wheel you can simply follow this link. The real wheel above is from the Buddha Tooth Relic temple in Singapore.
