Buddhists do not share the concept of "salvation" with Christians. Buddhists have no god(s) that grant prayers, forgive sins, judge, save or condemn. The closest that might be seen as the "salvation" is enlightenment where a Buddhist sees how to run his life with enough skill to avoid desire. The Buddhist can then attain Nirvana, which he may or may not do, depending on his choice.

We Buddhists do not believe in a heaven or paradise as described in Christianity or Islam that is overseen by an all powerful deity (god). We also do not beleive that salvation can be granted to us by any deity or external force. We beleive that people can attain a state of enlightenment in which they are more kind, generous and happy. Many Buddhists do believe in a God Realm, in which beings who have lived a good life are rewarded for a finite time prior to their next rebirth.

Who do the people in Buddhism pray to?

The concept of "praying" and "praying to" is foreign to Buddhism.Buddhism has no deity so there is no one there to pray to. Buddhists believe that a person comes to enlightenment by their own initiative not by intervention or "salvation." Praying is generally a supplication to a deity for intervention, protection, salvation, or a show of obedience and so on.As for Buddhiss praying to Buddha, for those non-Buddhists that claim that the Buddha is the god in Buddhism. He is not. He is a man who by his own efforts became enlightened. The charm of the Buddha is that if he can become enlightened we can all do the same for ourselves by following the Eightfold Path.
