Buddhist dont pray to the heavens above. They meditate or clear the mind
Answer:
Westerners often see videos of Buddhists chanting mantras as they meditate and assume they are "praying to the Buddhist god". The mantras (such as the well known "Om mani padme hum") are a aid to meditation. They are not directed to a god as the principle of a god does not form part of Buddhist practice.

Do Buddhists pray more than once a day?
No there is no rule or religious dogma laid down in Buddhist doctrines or in the Buddha's teachings regarding frequency of prayer nor its duration. Buddhists maintain that the wonderful thing about prayer practice is that we can do it everywhere and any time, thereby transforming the ordinary and mundane into the Path of Awakening.However often or otherwise an individual may pray in any one day or however short or prolonged their praying might be, he or she considers it not as calling on a God to do something for them-self or others but as a practice to awaken their own inherent inner capacities of compassion, strength and wisdom Buddhist prayer is not a prayer to any God. It is a form of meditationreplacing the negative with the virtuous and pointing the person to Life's blessings and towards Nirvana.A Buddhist's prayer may also function as a kind self-communication or therapy in which the person mentally or aloud talks through a problem, in the hope that some new insight will come back to them so a better decision can be made. Prayer therefore frequently has the function of being part of a Buddhist's decision making process. To the Buddhist how ever often they may or may not pray daily, that Prayer enriches their lives with deep spiritual connection and makes every moment special, manifesting the Pure Land here and now.
