The praying cylinders of Thibet. Buddhist prayer-wheels are rotating cylinders of varying size containing pieces of paper with prayers ('mantras') written or printed on them. The cylinders revolve clockwise, the direction of the sun's movement around the earth, and the prayers are supposed to ascend into the skies. The cylinders may be turned by hand, by turning a handle, or in the case of larger ones, by water, as seen in this view
