The other day Eljas was very concerned for a 3 year old boy that has disappeared in a forest. I told him that the best he could do was to go our alter and pray for him. Now I wonder is there any use of prayers beside the good feeling we might get out of 'doing something' to help?

November 28, 2011, 7:36 am In Buddhism prayer or doing zazen is not done for something.
It is prayer in one's own mind.
If you are praying in a full hearted way, then this full heart is being expressed and shows itself in everything.
That is how prayer is experienced in Buddhism.
