________________ Rita: Rupa: Rita: Rupa: Nirav: Rupa: Rita: Nirav: Rupa: Nirav: Jain Education International You time people at the Center while they are praying or teaching? I sure do. It is so cool. I have a whole list of times for reciting prayers and lectures in my Sunday school book. It tells me how long it takes to say different prayers and lectures. This is not a marathon! You really missed a good prayer. I was not saying the prayer; he was. And what good would it do to me? The teacher was leading us in the prayer. It is important to listen and pay attention to what is being said in any prayer, not just repeat it without thinking. I thought we were just supposed to sit still and be quiet. Well, yes. But you are also supposed to pray and listen to it yourself. One of my favorite things to do is listen to the prayer and understand the meaning. That is how I can learn to pray on my own later, when there is no one around to lead the prayer. Well, I listen to the songs on MTV. I only pray before I go for an exam. UNDERSTANDING PRAYERS We should not pray before exams because Arihantas and Siddhas are viträg and do not bestow favors on anyone! Praying is one way of looking at their qualities and imbibing these virtues in us. Rupa, God does not give you the right answer in an exam, when you study for an JAIN MORAL SKITS For Private & Personal Use Only Hello God! Please pass me in my exams today 81 www.jainelibrary.org
