About
Buddhist Prayers:
"Most
of the prayers that we recite contain meanings to be reflected upon. This
type of chanting is not done to request or invoke the compassion of the
Buddhas but is a method of meditation, the content of the chant being the
object of meditation.
"However,
there is a type of chant which is done to invoke the compassionate attention
of the Buddhas. The difference between this and worshipping a god is determined
by the motivation and the recognition of what one is doing. Whenever a
Mahayana Buddhist makes an offering or a prayer to the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas,
he is asking guidance and aid to attain enlightenment for the benefit of
all sentient beings." HH the Dalai Lama, Interview by
Mike Hellbach. Translated by Sherpa Tulku. Prepared by Glenn H. Mullin.
From Second Dharma Celebration, November 5th-8th 1982, New Delhi, India.
