Prayer wheels at Swayambhunath in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Prayers wheels are cylindrical wheels containing scrolls that are repeatedly inscribed with mantras. By turning the prayer wheels clockwise, it is believed that the mantras inside are activated and released. The mantras are said to purify negatvity, generate compassion, remove barriers to enlightenment and bring benefit to all sentient beings.
Swayambhunath is an ancient religious architecture atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city.

Hsing Tian Kong (Xingtian Temple) is the most popular temple in Taipei, Taiwan. This very busy temple is devoted to Guan, a famous deified general who lived (A. D. 162-219) during the Three Kingdoms period. A man, who valued loyalty and righteousness above all things, Guangong is worshipped as the God of War; since he was adept at managing finances, he is also worshipped as the patron saint of businessmen.
Completed in 1968, Xingtian Temple is situated on a street corner near the center of the city. Sculptures of dragons feature prominently in this temple's design. It covers over 7,000 square meters.
行天宮臺北本宮於1968年順利完成, 落成以來儼然成為大臺北地區，甚至整個北臺灣參訪人數最多的廟宇，一天進出人數可達萬人之多。行天宮在神祇的奉祀上傾向多神，主要信奉的5個恩主為關雲長、八仙之一呂洞賓、灶神張單、道教三十代天師王善以及宋朝名將岳飛，所謂的「恩主」是鸞堂信仰的名詞，也就是「救世主」的意思。5恩主以關雲長為首，因此臺灣一般民眾亦稱關雲長為恩主公，於是也就經常順勢稱行天宮為「恩主公廟」。

Thank you very much for fantastic tour guys!
I was a mixture of many emotions on this solo adventure into the forest. Hours earlier, our family received the inevitable difficult news that my younger sister Lisa had passed away. I always retreat to the forest during such times to collect my thoughts and more importantly, to say goodbye. Honestly, I do not find too much comfort in a church or with organized religion. I do however, feel a spiritual awakening and healing that I simply cannot describe when in these stunningly pristine places.
So grateful......

Prayer plays an important role in the life of any Catholic. It's the vitality of our Faith, and essential to our relationship with Jesus: to pray continuously, without ceasing, and to intercede for the will of the Father.

The rolled text inside a Tibetan prayer wheel. Rotation says the prayers ... a sort of cell phone to the Gods.
May God comfort the victims and families of the terrorist attack in Paris. May the rest of the world not turn a blind eye, but fight to end this madness NOW.
C'è un cerchio rosso sangue
Sulla fredda scura terra
E la pioggia sta cadendo
La porta dela chiesa è stata spalancata di colpo
Riesco a sentire la melodia dell'organo
Ma la congregazione se n'è già andata
La mia città di rovine
La mia città di rovine
Ora co queste mani
con queste mani
con queste mani
prego Dio
con queste mani
con queste mani
Prego Dio perchè mi dia forza
con queste mani
con queste mani
prego Dio perchè mi dia fede
Preghiamo per avere il tuo amore, o Dio
Ti preghiamo per i dannati,o Dio
Ti preghiamo per questo mondo; o Dio
