GUAN YIN BODHISATTVA’S TIPS ON EFFICACIOUS PRAYER
Master Jun Hong Lu: Finally, I asked Guan Yin Bodhisattva, “Guan Yin Bodhisattva, can you teach us a method that will help make our prayers more efficacious? You have earlier mentioned about a ‘calm state of mind’, how do we achieve this state for our prayers to be answered?”
Guan Yin Bodhisattva replied,
After completing your prostration before the Buddha and Bodhisattvas but right before you put forth your prayer, enunciate,
‘The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, silence…‘
When you say the word ‘silence’, your mind will be emptied, without any thought whatsoever. You should sincerely express your deepest gratitude to Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
