We see so many problems in the world nowadays, with people experiencing great difficulties. We often wonder what we as Buddhists should do to help with these problems? Venerable Geshe-la’s advice is that our job is to pray, as this is the best method to benefit others.
Now is the time to deepen our confidence in our practices to bring definite results in the future.
As Venerable Geshe-la has said with respect to prayer “I believe you will solve the world’s problems gradually.”
