問 : 當一個人不專心地念誦祈禱時（心散漫在其他地方去），還會有功德嗎？

答：有一個與此相關的家喻戶曉故事。從前，有一隻狗在圍繞佛塔追趕一頭豬，因此他們倆都得到了解脫。當然，我們不知道業力如何運作，但是對於那隻狗和豬來說，那次似乎是他們業力最後一次需要淨化。

Q：Are there still merits when one recites prayers without focus ( mind travels elsewhere )?

A: There is a popular story related to this. Once a dog was chasing a pig round and round a stupa and because of that, they both got liberation. Of course, we cannot know how karma works but it seems like for the dog and the pig their karma was that last bit of purification.
