Prayer was not a part of early Buddhism. In some cultures, Buddhism is combined with other religions in which prayer plays a part, but it is not Buddhist prayer.

The prayer boxes in Nepal are typically associated with Hinduism and Buddhism. They are used by devotees to store written prayers or mantras.
A belief is an opinion, strongly held but without proof. Belief is often used as a synonym for religion, or religious belief. Religious belief is almost never a solitary belief - one may belong to a church or organisation, whose members share beliefs that are taught by that church or organisation. The more closely members share their religious beliefs, the more strongly they are probably held. Belief is often reinforced by adversity, as fellow-believers draw together for mutual comfort and support. Religious belief is usually reinforced by regular prayer and reading of scriptures.
There is no equivalent of "Amen" in Buddhism.
"Amen" is a word used to express agreement or affirmation, often at the end of a prayer or statement of belief. It is commonly used in religious contexts to signify agreement with what has been said and to show faith or belief in the message.
Buddhism
There are no prayer services such as in the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) in Buddhism. 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.
