Information technological prayer wheel

 I recently made some wall-mounted prayer wheels out of Pringles cans:

Talking about these, I got to thinking of making a hand-held prayer wheel, like this offering from AliExpress. Well, as the saying goes, one thing led to another, and I had the thought of making a prayer wheel out of a CD. Here it is:


Now, the disc is 700 MB, and contains a single file, which has 21 588 329 repetitions of the phrase 

࿋ OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA ࿋

So, each time the disc completes a revolution, the spinner will have turned that many instances of this prayer through space and time!
