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.

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.
