Prayer Wheels
-
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer) Om Mani Padme Hum, invites the blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion.
They also believe you can produce the same effect by spinning the written form of the mantra around in a prayer wheel (called "Mani wheels" by the Tibetans). The effect is said to be multiplied when more copies of the mantra are included, and spinning the Mani wheels faster increases the benefit as well.
His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, has said that having the mantra on your computer works the same as a traditional Mani wheel. As the digital image spins around on your hard drive, it sends the peaceful prayer of compassion to all directions and purifies the area.

Once upon a time, I wrote a program for my Commodore 128 that printed Om Mani Padme Hum to the screen ceaselessly, with that idea in mind. I was really just teaching myself programming, but it's nice to have His Holiness the Dalai Lama aver that running my program might have done some cosmic good

The following scroll should scroll on Internet Explorer and some other browsers.

Aum mani padme hum... Aum mani padme hum... Aum mani padme hum... Aum mani padme hum...</marquee>I just tested it successfully on IE (including Maxthon), Opera, Firefox, and Chrome. Only IE caught the forum-based text formatting, but the marquee tag itself now works in all of them.
