THE FOUNDATION FOR OFFERING EFFECTIVE PRAYERS TO BODHISATTVA IS COMPRISED OF THREE FACTORS

Master Jun Hong Lu’s
Public Talk, Toronto September 24, 2012

THE FOUNDATION FOR OFFERING EFFECTIVE PRAYERS TO BODHISATTVA IS COMPRISED OF THREE FACTORS

Number 1:  Karma from previous lives.

Number 2:  The level of your cultivation in the present life.  No matter how admirable a person’s cultivation was in his or her past lives, if they only bad things and nothing good in this present life, their prayers will not be effective.

Number 3: Sincerity.
With a sincere heart, one’s prayer will definitely be effective, as they will be able to sense the energy field of Bodhisattva.  On the contrary, if you do not perform recitations regularly, do not behave like a good person, and have never performed any good deeds, when you are faced with issues and pray to Bodhisattva hoping your prayer will be answered, don’t you think it would be a pipe dream?
Never complain Bodhisattva isn’t answering your prayers, as it is actually our own capabilities and spiritual power that are lacking.
