I have eaten the noon meal together with monks and nuns in several Mahayana monasteries in Taiwan, and there was no verbal prayer either right before or right after the meal other than the sound of a gong and someone intoning the syllable "OM" ("Aum") each time over a PA system. What made the occasions memorable is that the Buddhist Venerables are taught to treat eating, not as something you do for pleasure, but simply as "medicine for hunger." Thus, there was no talking throughout the meal, which only lasted about ten to fifteen minutes. You were not obliged to eat everything before you, but once you started an item, you had to finish it. At the end of the meal, everyone filed out as quietly as they had filed in.
