When do Buddhist people pray?

Answer 1

They pray at their church and at home. They pray where and whenever they want.

Answer:

Buddhists do not pray in the western sense of "talking" to deity to ask help, forgiveness or just to get on better terms with it. Buddhists meet to chant, discuss and listen to learned discourse, but they do not pray.

Answer 2

Buddhist is a Philosophy therefore it does not require praying to god/s. What seems to others as praying is actually honoring or reverence to the Teacher. The most famous teacher is Shakyamuni Siddharta Gotama (the Buddha), who teaches on ways to End Suffering and does not claim to be a god. However, there are Syncretic-Buddhism where the followers combine their worship of their god/s with the Philosophy of Buddhism; like in Japan, China, Himalayas, etc.
