Here I am publishing video clips of several prayers by the Master Beinsa Douno, a 20th century Bulgarian sage and Teacher of Esoteric Christianity, also known by the name of Peter Deunov. Among them is the foundational "The Good Prayer". All the translations come from the site [ Ссылка ] ("The English Master Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno) Home Page"), used with the kind permission of the translator (Christophorus), and are the best I could find. The videos are for all those who would like to discover and practice the prayers given by the Master Beinsa Douno.
Please have a look at the other prayers on this channel and feel free to share them.

SOME THOUGHTS FROM THE MASTER BEINSA DOUNO - PETER DEUNOV ABOUT PRAYER IN GENERAL:
"There is no better poetry in life than to pray, i.e. to converse with God."
"To pray means to think of God. Every thought about God, no matter how feeble it is, shines like a little spark in the consciousness of Man, and brings something to him. It is not important whether you understand what God is; but you can always think of Him. This thought will always bring you some benefit, even a microscopic one. To think about God means to think correctly."
"Prayer is a link and Love may come into the world only through this link. The whole of our life must turn into an inner prayer, in order for us to prepare the conditions for Love to come into us."
"Man's success depends on this - how pure and sacred God's Name is kept in his heart and soul."
"If you desire God to hear you, you must have peace, humility within yourself, and whatever you wish - knowledge, strength, wisdom, beauty, virtue - you will acquire everything."
"Prayer - this is communion with God."
"Without prayer Man cannot make progress."
"Have trust in the Lord with the whole of your heart, with the whole of your mind; know only God in all your ways, and He will correct your steps."
"Think of God so as to become perfect like Him.
Think of God so as to become kind like Him.
Think of God so as to become sweet-hearted like Him."
"Prayer excludes self-seeking."
"Pray not only for yourselves but for everyone. Whoever thinks only for himself, he will achieve nothing."
"Give attention only to the good and the beautiful in the world."
"Absolute purity, absolute light, absolute truth must reign among all of you. This must be your ideal."
"There must be no lie! By its nature the lie always brings bad consequences. The moment you say a lie, you connect with all the negative powers in Nature, which will suck out the juices of your life. Everything which is gained through a lie disappears. The consequences of a lie are horrifying."
"So, memorize the following Truth: there is no grater thing in the life of Man than prayer."
"What is prayer? It is a communion with God, with the First Cause of everything. Prayer is a deep inner process; in this process one may only vaguely hear the enunciation of some words. How long you should pray for, this is determined. Someone thinks that the more s/he prays to the Lord and recites verses from the Scriptures, the more s/he will receive an answer. True prayer is beyond time; but, it exists in the very moment of communion, of connection with the Great Beginning of life."
"How will you recognize whether you have received the answer to your prayer? - by that inner, quiet joy, by that inner light which will help you to resolve certain issues. One person receives an answer to his/her prayer momentarily, another has to wait for days, weeks, months, and yet another waits for years. This depends on the intensity of the prayer."
"Prayer is a process, it is a privilege."
"How is it possible to sustain the harmony between Man and God? One of the conditions is prayer."
"Prayer is a great power. It is the language of the Divine World. So, when one prays, one converses with the Beings of the Divine World."
"The beautiful prayers are given by God, by the Holy Spirit. They are sacred prayers and they never grow old."
