Dear Teena, you are incredibly kind to take the time to answer some of my questions, and to provide information that I was seeking. I feel less alone, knowing that you too have wondered about these Buddhist beliefs and practices. Blessings to you, and love too! Fran xx

in Buddhism, we pray to Buddhas and bodhisattvas for the inspiration and strength to work on ourselves so that we can create our own causes of happiness, as well as benefit others as much as possible. It’s not that they wave a magic wand and, all of a sudden, we have some special power to do it, but by thinking of their example – they act as our role models – we are filled with the confidence, “I can do this!” Buddhist prayer activities, such as the recitation of sutras, the repetition of mantras, as well as visualization of deities, are all about connecting with our own inner capacity to develop constructive emotions such as compassion, enthusiasm, patience, and so on, and to engage in constructive actions of helping others.
