A prayer wheel is a 'wheel' (Tibetan: 'khor) on a spindle made from metal, wood, leather, or even coarse cotton. On the wheel are depicted or encapsulated prayers, mantras and symbols such as the Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning such a wheel will have much the same effect as orally reciting the prayers.The Dalai Lama has commented that animated GIF's on websites work just as well as other prayer wheels.[As the GIF image turns, waves of compassion in all directions in the surrounding area.
Some have suggested that the the spinning of a hard drive (several thousand rotations per minute) can act in similar function to a prayer wheel by saving an image of Om mani padme hum or other mantra on their local machine.

This shot is one of seven that I contributed to a large collection of new photos that hang in our church foyer. The theme for the project was, "The Church Unleashed," which refers to Christians being turned loose into the world to do God's work.
This one was printed on canvas at about 20x30". It pictures my then-91-year-old grandmother doing one of the things she does best--praying for her family and friends at her kitchen table. This was a posed shot that I had envisioned specifically for this project. The light is natural from a north-facing picture window.

It is not unusual for young people today to stray away from their early Christian teaching. Perhaps their exposure to unbelief "took" better than their exposure to belief. This is often the case, for the Bible says, "The heart of man is deceitful above all things." The human heart is as prepared by sin to accept unbelief as faith. Some person they regard highly has undoubtedly influenced their thinking; and for the time being they look at their early Christian teaching as "bunk." As someone has said, "A little learning may take a man away from God, but full understanding will bring him back. And if we were to examine this matter, the overwhelming evidence would draw the conclusion that only " the fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
And with this said, I pray for all the questioning people today Lord, I also remember the time in my own life when I did not believe.
I can't read them, but I would guess the Tharlam Monastery prayer wheels are inscribed with the Buddhist prayer, om mani padme hum, sent off by spinning the wheels.

如果祢在這,請聆聽我的禱告
我雖行過死蔭的峽谷,仍不感到害怕
因你的杖 你的杆,都支持著我
祢用公義的右手扶持著我
徬徨,無助
信仰漸漸薄弱,直到苦難才回想起祢的偉大
一切煎熬痛苦都無所謂
只求祢別將苦難帶離我家人
拜託

Every evening these men would gather on the front lawn in order to conduct their evening prayers. Most nights the man you see in the front here would lead the prayers, but sometimes someone else would do it.
Every other time I've been to Qatar for scoring, they have not prayed outside like this. Instead they pray inside one of the scoring rooms.
