buddhist prayer believe
In the fall of 1988, I worshipped God in a Buddhist temple. As the smell of incense filled the air, I knelt before three images of the Buddha, feeling that the smoke could carry my prayers heavenward.

I am content to learn from them and to walk with them side by side toward the God who lives, I believe, beyond the images that bind and blind us.
