'The concept of the prayer wheel is a physical manifestation of the phrase "turning the wheel of Dharma," which describes the way in which the Buddha taught. Prayer Wheels originated from ‘The School of Shakyamuni sutra, volume 3 – pagoda and temple’ which states that, “those who set up the place for worship, use the knowledge to propagate the dharma to common people, should there be any man or woman who are illiterate and unable to read the sutra, they should then set up the prayer wheel to facilitate those illiterate to chant the sutra, and the effect is the same as reading the sutra' - Wikipedia

We did a week of 24-7 prayer last week. It was a good time. The guys who set up the room did an amazing job of turning a pretty dingy place into a bit of sacred space.
I loved the week, it was especially cool to watch people really getting in to it and meet with God in a different way.
Prayers to the victims of the Myanmar's Cyclone Nargis and China Sichuan earthquake. Both the natural disasters have claimed about 77300 lives in Myanmar and 28800 lives in Sichuan so far. These two tragedies happened just nine days apart, Sichuan was hit by 7.9 magnitude earthquake equilvalent to the damage of 240 atomic bombs on the 12 May 2008. The reaction from both country governments varies vastly to the foreign aids. Beijing says yes but Yangon still resists. Myanmar military ruler selffishness to open to outside world being afraid of interference to the ruling policy is putting the lives of 2.5 million survivors at stake. So far, only 270,000 were attended by aids groups. International aid officials vented their frustration at Myanmar's continued rejection of offers of help. The United Nation said on 16 May that severe restrictions have left aid agencies unsure about the extent of survivors suffering and unable to reach the disaster zone. May God bless all who have lost their lives and the survivors.
"Brothers and sisters, I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church on 7 September, the vigil of the birth of Mary, Queen of Peace, a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative." (Pope Francis)
Seems to be quite appropriate to post this picture today, even though it was shot quite a few years ago.
And let me quote from Numbers 6:24-26:
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Let's keep in our prayers the military and security personnel and all the citizens.

ותרשו לי לצטט מבמדבר ו' פסוקים כד'-כו':
יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ. יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ. יִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם.
בתפילה אחת לשלומם של כל אנשי כוחות הבטחון והאזרחים.
There are these coloured flags all over Ladakh. They're buddhist prayer flags . They're silently fluttering away all over the place praying for the place and its people. And God knows they need it in that weather :)
People light a candle and say a prayer for each candle they light. Every church here in the Philippines has these stands for there candles and places where people can pray.
