The above statement is not true. Look at the Guanyin Temple at Waterloo Street near Bugis (å››é©¬è·¯è§‚éŸ³å ‚). There are always many people in there. Imagine there's no attraction in this temple at all, no food, no music etc. nothing much to offer to the devotees and yet there are still many devotees. I've estimated that each person takes about 10 minutes to pray and leave the place and yet there are always many people at any point of time you go.
Reason being their prayers were usually answered. I experienced it myself. It is only that this temple does not have a proper record of the number of devotees or you will be surprised that its devotees are definitely more than 33,000 people.
Though true Buddhists are not supposed to draw lots but I understand that the lots in this temple are very true. One of my friend drew lots in this temple and she drew the same lot number continuously for about 4 times, she poured out the lots from the lots holder to check and found that out of so many lots, there was only 1 lot with that number. I strongly believe Guanyin Pusa is always �处祈求,�处应 but of course we have to practice or else how is Guanyin Pusa going to help us.

The above statement is not true. Look at the Guanyin Temple at Waterloo Street near Bugis (å››é©¬è·¯è§‚éŸ³å ‚). There are always many people in there. Imagine there's no attraction in this temple at all, no food, no music etc. nothing much to offer to the devotees and yet there are still many devotees. I've estimated that each person takes about 10 minutes to pray and leave the place and yet there are always many people at any point of time you go.
Reason being their prayers were usually answered. I experienced it myself. It is only that this temple does not have a proper record of the number of devotees or you will be surprised that its devotees are definitely more than 33,000 people.
Though true Buddhists are not supposed to draw lots but I understand that the lots in this temple are very true. One of my friend drew lots in this temple and she drew the same lot number continuously for about 4 times, she poured out the lots from the lots holder to check and found that out of so many lots, there was only 1 lot with that number. I strongly believe Guanyin Pusa is always �处祈求,�处应 but of course we have to practice or else how is Guanyin Pusa going to help us.

There was instance that desired intent not fulfilled to ward off untoward incident in near future, as in the conscious mind, there are uncountable seeds of both desireable, undesireable and holy etc. In fact, all sincere prayers to Goddess of Mercy developing immeasurable positive deeds, beyond your understanding
