SUFFERINGS CANNOT OR MAY NOT BE REMOVED BY JUST WISHING
Sufferings do not arise without a cause. The well-established Spiritual Cultivators are rightly motivated with the wisdom to accept and use sufferings as a cause or a method for learning and evolving, for one to strive towards the ultimate perfection of virtues and wisdom that ends all sufferings.

OM MANI PADME HUM
Spiritual practice begins with the interest to purge oneself of all negativities which consist of one’s faults and weakness and wrong views for the purpose of developing a virtuous mind.

PRAYING AND MIND TRAINING - ITS PURPOSE, RELATIONSHIP AND BENEFITS
An Effective Way to Pray is praying with Concentration, to be fully immersed in one’s prayers, whereby all sense of time and all sensations of the five senses, and even worldly and unwholesome desires are totally absent. In this state of praying, one’s mind will be void of impure thoughts. When one prays as such, one is also engaged in training the mind involving awareness, mindfulness and meditation.
