We do not pray, since we do not believe in any immortal, omniscient gods.
Buddhist prayer is completely different than prayer in the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).
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
Buddhists do not pray, they practice, and the theory is that they should practice everywhere, all the time, without limitation.
There are MANY kinds of Buddhists. Some pray in temples, others don't. For example, some Buddhists focus more on seated meditation (at home, at monasteries, in the forest, at centers, and possibly at temples) while others focus on following the Buddhist teachings in their everyday lives.However, there are also millions of Buddhists who do pray in temples. This is especially common in Asian countries with large lay populations.
Prayer is not something the Buddha encouraged. If Buddhists pray it is a personal choice to do so.Answer:Buddhists do not pray. Prayer requires something (a deity) to pray to. Buddhists have no deity which impacts their lives, so prayer would be pointless.
