Weird facts about Buddhism no one talks about!

RE: Weird facts about Buddhism no one talks about!
It's the prayer wheels that get me. I've been to a number of places dominated by the Buddhism. Often in mountainous regions, there are some beautiful, colourful temples with loads of prayer wheels - some big, some small - in public areas. It's aesthetically pleasing, but, there are then countless people, usually old, sitting for hours and hours, day after day according to various guides we've had, simply turning a wheel. The more times the wheel turns, the greater their reward in the afterlife!
I mean, for Christ's sake...
