Meditation is the deepest prayer
Meditation is the deepest prayer through which you get anything you want. Anything that is good for your spiritual and physical well being will automatically come your way, whether you pray or don't pray for it. That's why the life of a Quan Yin practitioner is full of contentment and satisfaction - he wants nothing. The more he practices, the less he wants. The more he practices, the less he prays. Seek you first the kingdom of God, and all things shall be added unto you.
Faith Is The Best Prayer
Only faith can bring the things into actualization, because actually we areGod. We are Buddha already. Help is always there. We don't even need help. If weare the Buddha, we know what to do, no? So believe it. If you cannot believe inyour own Buddha Nature, then believe in the Master power, the Master's BuddhaNature. Then that will help you, because even if you didn't have a BuddhaNature, supposed you didn't have, supposed you were not the Buddha, then okay,at least someone else, like the Master, would not leave you in trouble. TheMaster would immediately know, would know before you even called, and wouldalready have tried to find a way to help you. So just believe in it. That's thebest prayer for you. Believe that it will be done as best for yourself, whateverhappens it will be the best for you and you will see it in the future, verysoon, that is the best.
So, anytime any problem and you want to pray for yourself or want to pray foranyone, just believe in it. You can ask Master to help or ask your own BuddhaNature to help, but you must believe that it will be done and it is being done,it has already been done. Then, it's okay. Remember the Bible also says whateveryou pray for, believe that it has been granted to you, then it will be done.It's the way it is. If you keep crying, "Oh, please help me! Why don't youhelp me? It has been five minutes...it has been ten minutes. I'll give youanother ten minutes. (Master and audience laugh.) That's not the way.
You must believe. Your faith in yourself is the greatest healing power of anyillness, of any problems that you might encounter. You must believe this,because you are the only Buddha within yourself. We are all the Buddhas, but theBuddha inside knows what to do already. The soul knows what to do. If you cannotbelieve, just believe the Master power will help you, because it will. It doeshelp anytime. What's the use of having a master and then the master doesn't doanything for you. Even an ordinary father, mother would try their best to helptheir children; ordinary teachers would try their best to help the students. Howwould a spiritual master, having access to all heaven and earth, just leave youalone in darkness and in trouble?
So, there's nothing we cannot solve with faith in ourselves or in the Masterpower, because actually the Master power is your power. You and I are one. So,if you cannot believe in yourself, okay let it be, because you feel separatedfrom the Master, fine. Then believe in the Master power. If you really think themaster is good, why would the master not help you? And the Master power isomnipresent; there's nowhere the master is not. Anywhere you call, it's just theMaster right there, twenty-four hours, remember! So, everywhere you stay,everywhere you live, whatever you face, don't panic, just believe. It will besolved if you can't solve it yourself. Try your best. If you cannot, then theMaster will help you. That's what the Master's there for. Until you find yourown Master power, the one who knows must help.
