SUMMARY:The Scientific Approach to the Art of Effective Prayer
DESCRIPTION:In these challenging times people are beginning to realize that the changes we long for in the external world depend entirely upon changing the internal world of our own mind. The real answers to sustainable peace and harmony do not lie outside of ourselves\, but rather in the understanding and transformation of our own intentions and views. This depends upon “the scientific approach to effective prayer”. Buddhist psychology describes the function of prayer in such a practical and scientific way. Many people are returning to prayer with a new understanding and experience of its efficacy to produce repeatable positive effects in the mind of anyone\, Buddhist or non-Buddhist\, religious or non-religious. Everyone is Welcome!
