I truly believe in the Erawan Shrine waiting for my prayers to come true

(New York, USA)

I have heard of the Erawan Shrine since I was a kid. I'm in my mid 40's now. This year (2010) I had the worst luck ever in my life. Lost my job and had to deal with dramas from my friends and family.

So I decided to worship at the Erawan Shrine and hope to get things settled. I arrived at midnight and visited the Erawan Shrine the first thing the next morning, to show my full respect.

So far I haven't seen any of my wishes come true (2 weeks), and I hope I prayed right--clockwise. I bought the most expensive package, not being greedy, but out of my respect for the Erawan Shrine since I flew 10,000 miles to Bangkok.

I hope I can get out of this predicament soon and I promise to revisit the Erawan Shrine to give thanks.

Again, although I haven't gotten anything yet, I'm feeling hopeful everyday. I believe something good will happen soon.

Thanks and hope all is well to everyone.

 Keep The Faith
by: Anonymous

I was ignorant and felt that the 4-faced Buddha is just another statue for the superstitious. Looking back, I abhor the arrogance in me that stemmed from perception and yes again, my ignorance.

I was unemployed for 5yrs and no matter what I did to lower my expectations, I just couldn't find a job. Miraculously, I chanced upon a FB video featuring some HK superstars who religiously return to this temple yearly.

There was a sudden spark in me that I must visit in person and with sincerity, Lord Brahma (only realised he is Lord Brahma after reading up) will help me. With an extreme & sincere heart, I poured all my sorrows as I knelt before him & begged for a job. Not only did I get a job finally, he also opened my eyes as to why I wasn't able to secure any for 5 years.

Everything fell into place & I promised to share my personal experience and how he really listens & helps those who go before him sincerely.

I am eternally grateful and know that he is listening. I urge you to pay a visit if you can with an open & sincere heart, you will definitely receive his blessings!

 Find peace
by: Anonymous

May all who seek peace from their troubles find peace.

I prayed for two things, one of which I do find coming true in some way, for which I am grateful. The second may not come true, seeing that the deadline has passed, unless things have a way of working themselves out or is for a greater good.

Either way, I can only hope that things will work out and I can get out of this rut which I have been stuck in for months and is draining me.

Going to the four-faced Buddha was my last resorts cos I didn't think anyone else could help.

But from this I guessed I emerged a stronger person. Perhaps everything happens for a reason :)

Kindness begets kindness and always try to lead a mindful, fruitful life despite the many difficulties we face.

PEACE

 Pray at the Erawan Shrine
by: Eric Oz

I too will go to Thailand to pray at the Erawan Shrine to ask for forgiveness for being greedy.

I took the wrong step in my business that led to trouble now and maybe bigger trouble in the near future.

I just want to ask for forgiveness and help to guide me out of this troubled times.
