Karma and Problems in Life and Environment of a Couple Cause of Actions and Prayer

Karma and Prayer

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai
Harvard Univ. U.S.A. February 24, 1991
(Originally in English)

Q: Can we reduce our karma by praying?

M: Yes, we can if we are sincere enough, because a very sincere and deep prayer is a kind of meditation. We are in a meditative mood and therefore it reaches the deepest recesses of our great store, our merit and our blessing store. And it affects our karma; it cleanses it. Only if you are truly sincere and deeply longing for forgiveness, does it help.
