  as a Buddhist , I am moved by Her strength to pull through the operation
  
  I would like everyone to pen a thought of prayer from your guru to her
  
  and dedicate merits to Her
  
  Though She is a Christian ,may our prayers helped her to have a better rebirth
  
  "Subject to Change are all Things.Strive on With Dilligence."
  
  Namo Amitabha
  
  Homage to the Guide of Western Paradise and the Lotus Assembly of Sages of Buddha and Bodhisattva

  I shall start the Ball Rolling
  
  << I vow that when my life approaches it end
  All Obstruction will be swept away;
  I will See Amitabha Buddha,
  And be born in His Land of Ultimate Bliss.
  
  When reborn in the Western Land,
  I will Perfect and Completely fulfill
  Without exception these Great Vows,
  To delight and benefit all beings.
  
  The Vows of Samantabhadra
  Avatamsaka Sutra
  
  >>
  
  May I dedicate the merit of quoting this beautiful verse allow Her to have a better rebirth and even to Western Paradise

  How can Buddhists believe in the power of prayer? It just does not make sense. How can "prayer" "chanting Buddhists scriptures" affect another person's Karma? How can it affect his or her rebirth? Is there some sort of confusion here?

  This is no confusion here...just merely your ignorance of not finding out the benefits of prayers. Water is a basic element on earth and u see for yourself how water react to prayers as follows:

  shrugs. i don't believe in buddhist prayers helping anything personally. but i'm just glad to see that people care, and show that they care by putting in effort to do smth for someone they've never met before in their lives. =)
  
  thanks guys.

  if you are a free thinker....you have freedom not to believe in any religious faith.....but if you are a christian....christians prayers are equally powerful to heal blind to see, heal a limb to walk and heal a deaf dumb to speak again...anything is possible with a sincere faith of prayers...
  
  The above articles are research by a Japanses scientist...no cooking up soties...science is beyond any form of religious belief....its truth out there for u to explore. Water Molecules react to our mental energy through prayers...why not humans ? Our body is made up of 70% water elements too...if I not wrong...
