Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Chrism, so this prayer " I am at one with the all that I am at one with the all that I am at one with the all that I am at..... " can be used instead of " the love of Buddha, the love of Buddha, the love of God? " For the safeties, it doesn't matter if use one or the other?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 For use as a meditative tool yes. The prayers themselves have activities that are different than the meditational. Prayer and meditation are different. They have different outcomes and influences. A prayer is a direct communication with the individually accepted divine. In the way that " the divine " is understood by an individual. Meditation is reaching for the inner stillness of the inner world of the carnate being and for that which is within us that resonates with divinity. Different scenarios. - blessings - chrism , " kundaflame " <kundaflame wrote: > > Chrism, so this prayer " I am at one with the all that I am at one > with the all that I am at one with the all that I am at.....

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 What is the difference between a prayer and a mantra? Or is there not a difference?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Here is what wikipedia will tell you and they are correct imho.: A mantra (Devanâgarî & #2350; & #2344; & #2381; & #2340; & #2381; & #2352;) (or mantram) is a religious or mystical syllable or poem, typically from the Sanskrit language. Their use varies according to the school and philosophy associated with the mantra. They are primarily used as spiritual conduits, words or vibrations that instill one-pointed concentration in the devotee. In this meaning the mantra is used as a tool of meditation. A prayer is a direct communication with the individually accepted divine. In the way that " the divine " is understood by an individual. Meditation is reaching for the inner stillness of the inner world of the carnate being and for that which is within us that resonates with divinity. , " misscalaminya " <misscalaminya wrote: > > > What is the difference between a prayer and a mantra?
