Cyber Prayer Wheel

edited March 2017 in Buddhism Today

Need to do extra puja? No prayer wheel to spin?
Let the computer take the strain
The Swift program can be run from a web browser (click on the blue arrow)
The other two languages I also wrote, tested and ran on my Linux computer ...
Oh I feel all virtuous . . . ;)
Needed to do some simple programming to get back into it . . .

Cyber Buddhist Prayer Wheel

Swift

for i in 0..<108 {
    print("OM YA HA HUM HRIH")
    print("OM MANI PEME HUM HRIH")
    print("OM TARE TUTARE TURE SOHA")
}

http://swift.sandbox.bluemix.net/#/repl/58bd60e6d6a2863888a71148

Python

Sum = 1
Mantra1 = " OM YA HA HUM HRIH"
Mantra2 = " OM MANI PEME HUM HRIH"
Mantra3 = " OM TARE TUTARE TURE SOHA"

while Sum < 109 :
    print (Sum) ; print (Mantra1) ; print (Mantra2) ; print (Mantra3)
    Sum+=1

Bashscript

#!/bin/sh
# A simple shell script to print mantra for a set repetitions

count_mantras=0

for i in {1..109}
do
    ((count_mantras++))
    echo $count_mantras "OM YA HA HUM"
    echo $count_mantras "OM MANI PEME HUM HRIH"
    echo $count_mantras "OM TARE TUTARE TURE SOHA"
done

    Below is another prayer wheel written as a web page with javascript.
    Can be saved as a text file and loaded into most browsers

    call the text file mantra.html

    It has comments so you can change the repetition number and mantras used . . .

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
// mantra in speech marks added in the below line   
var mantras = [" OM MANI PEME HUM HRIH", " OM YA HA HUM HRIH", " OM TARE TUTARE TURE SOHA", " OM BEKANZE BEKANZE MAHA BEKANZE RADZA SAMUDGATE SOHA", " NAMO AMITABHA", " "];
var text = "";
var i;

// counting begins at 0, so changing 109 in below line will increase number of chants to more than 108 
for (num_repeats = 0; num_repeats < 109; num_repeats++) 
    {
for (i = 0; i < mantras.length; i++) { 
    text +=  num_repeats + mantras[i] +  "<br>";
                                                          }
    }
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = text;
</script>
</body>
</html>
