The author uses the example of the Tibetan prayer-wheel to ----.
In many primitive communities there is a taboo on
mentioning a man's name except in certain special
circumstances, because his name is believed to
contain within it something of himself, which would be
lost and wasted if his name were uttered without first
taking special precautions. This belief about words is
widespread. Among the more primitive and the
uneducated, it is universal. A remarkably matter-offact
practical application of it occurs even in the
present day in the Tibetan prayer-wheel. If, thinks the
Tibetan peasant, a prayer uttered once does some
good, then the same prayer uttered many times will
do more good. Therefore, since he assumes that the
efficacy lies in the prayer as an entity in itself, he
writes it round the rim of a wheel, and then frugally
employs the water of a mountain stream to turn it all
day long, instead of wastefully employing his own
lungs and lips to say it again and again.
