Do Buddhists have a special prayer?

Praying five times a day, is not common to all Buddhists although there may be some who do. The goal of most Buddhists is to be present or awake in every moment.


How and were do Buddhist people pray?

Buddhist prayer is completely different than prayer in the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). In the Abrahamic religions a person prays to god or some saint for insight, or forgiveness or for some action to be taken on their behalf. That is, they are praying for some supernatural being to intercede for them. In Buddhism a prayer is more like a mantra in which the person praying is reciting a lesson (sutra) or guideline which tells them how to behave and act. For example, a prayer for compassion is "may all beings be well, happy and peaceful". The idea behind this prayer is for the person praying to develop compassion and loving kindness to all. Therefore prayer in Buddhism is self-directed. As for where we pray, we pray whenever and wherever we feel the need. I pray many times a day to aid in my spiritual growth.
