I want to guide my mom to believe buddha the right way. Now she only pray for the lottery

Dear User, I can understand how you feel. It can be difficult to see someone we love focusing on something that seems trivial, especially when we believe there are more important things to pray for in life. It may be helpful to approach this situation with compassion and understanding. Your mother may be praying for the lottery because she is experiencing financial difficulties or believes that winning the lottery will help her and her family. It is important to acknowledge her reasons for doing so and understand that her intentions are likely good. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to remember that everyone has their own journey and may not be ready to fully embrace the teachings of Buddha. It is important to respect where your mother is on her path and continue to show her love and kindness. In Buddhism, we believe that each person must find their own way, and it is not our job to force or convince others to believe what we believe. From a psychological perspective, it may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your mother about your concerns. Listen to her perspective and share your own in a non-judgmental way. You could also suggest alternative ways to pray or meditate that align with your beliefs and may be helpful for her situation. In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest focusing on your own spiritual practice and leading by example. When others see the positive impact that Buddhism has had on your life, they may become curious and want to learn more. It may also be helpful to practice patience and acceptance, knowing that everyone has their own journey and timeline for growth and change.
