Dear lagrade

In my humble opinion, perhaps it all depends on who has more power: the one side (karma) or the other side (a good-intentioned human). When the Buddha had a backache, no being in the universe could make it go away. When a common person has a sickness, the power of the one who is praying for him is what decides it. So for example, another commoner, no chance… a deva, sickness gone… an aryian, depends. 

Thank you for reading 😊
