'''Commentary:''' This book sets forth a standard prayer that should be said to praise God. It is a simple prayer. Although short, its meaning and depth is profound, and says more than meaningless long chants. It should be said from the depth of the heart. | '''Commentary:''' This book sets forth a standard prayer that should be said to praise God. It is a simple prayer.
