Taoists do not "pray" in the sense of common religious prayer. Taoists have nothing to pray to, and no reason to pray. Common religious prayer is a way of feeling compassion and forgiveness, and sending healing energy toward a person. Taoists pray by directly feeling compassion and forgiveness for people. Taoists have enough control over their bodies and mind that they can do this whenever they want to without interfering with daily life. Since feeling compassion and forgiveness is helpful at most times on most levels, Taoists do it very often. Additionally, Taoists have developed powerful ways to energetically heal people, making the healing effects of prayer useless. This is not to say that common religious prayer is bad. For common religiuos people, it is actually an acceptable way to feel compassion and forgiveness, and make good things happen. Taoists simply have much better ways of doing it.
