      In religious communities, prayers are common and are based on the belief that some deity will listen to them and take action. This practice is frequently scrutinized as it doesn’t seem to have any visible impact. For example, it has never healed amputees. But in Transfer of Merits (Pattidāna) – How Does it Happen?, it is implied that one’s genuine intention of goodness towards someone can have impact.

      So if a religious person prays for someone who has the right mindset to receive the benefit, could it work?
