All the different kinds of wheels really caught my attention--particularly the digital prayer wheel. It's strikes me as a bit strange seeing as how when Buddhism was first created they didn't have the internet. Did you guys happen to find one online?
I think the digital prayer wheel strikes me as strange also. Maybe its a bit harsh, but it seems like its for people who are just to lazy or physically can't go to a buddhist temple or whatever.
