Cyber Prayer Wheel

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>

Howdy, Stranger!
