Knowing how to pray has saved my butt countless times. The secret of prayer
is expressing gratitude for our existence. And the Truth is, everything
happens for a reason. We exist on this plane for a reason. We are here to
learn, and we only learn from our mistakes. . . .
So when you pray, ask for wisdom and understanding. Don’t bother asking for
anything else, because if you have wisdom and understanding you don’t need
anything else.
–Tommy Chong (1938 - ) The I Chong: Meditations From The Joint [2006],
