I believe the dalai lama has decreed that prayers on a spinning hard disk platter do count... So you could get a much more efficient prayer wheel for pretty cheap by spinning 8TB of prayers at 7200rpm ;)

I don't remember exactly where I read this and it was probably someone reinterpreting the quote from the article, but such is religion.

e: your end product looks absolutely stunning btw

Beautifully done! Interesting article.

> only 600-800 tourists visit the region annually, which is less than those who reach the peak of Everest in a year!

Do not give anybody ideas...

Sorry - you lost me at the title....
Without trying to start a debate on religions' wastefulness as a whole (time, money, efforts), meta-studies on prayers haven't find more than no discernible effect.

If the goal is to use your GPU for all living beings' benefit, something like folding@home has a better chance of mattering.
