Revision as of 17:19, 12 November 2004 by Phiddipus (talk | contribs) (The Goal of the Prayer)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The idea of using the prayer of the heart to achieve some sort of clarity of thought or depth of concentration is an idea adopted from Buddhists and other eastern philosophies either directly or indirectly. In any case, the practitioner’s goal may require concentration and focus, but these are not the goals. The goal is humility and contrition for ones sins.
