Best Answer

If you are thinking in the Abrahamic religion's terms of a revelation from a god, we Buddhists don't, since we don't believe in any creator god or infinite lived gods. We get insights into the workings of our minds through meditation and reading the teachings of the Buddha and then contemplating them.

How does heavenly father talk threw the prophets?

God, our Heavenly Father, speaks through prophets by revealing His will to them. Prophets receive revelation for the world and for the church, while individuals may receive revelation for themselves or their families. Revelation comes in many ways. Sometimes it is an audible voice heard, but more often the words come into the mind or a feeling enters into the heart which directs the person in the will of God. Revelation from God can be as simple as what many call your 'conscience', a feeling which lets you know if what you are doing is right or wrong.
