Learn Buddhism: Buddhist Prayer

Hundreds of millions of Buddhist pray. But why? And more importantly, why should you pray as part of your Buddhist practice? Prayer in Buddhism is not the same as in other religions where you might be praying to a creator God or other being to have forgiveness, worship, or help. Instead, Buddhist prayer has many components and uses, one of which is showing devotion, respect, love, and reverence for our enlightened teacher(s) such as a Buddha or Bodhisattva.

Informative It puts me it back on track. My background is Christian/Buddhist Morales. I tend to learn more towards Buddhism than Christianity was baptized to Catholic and went to Catholic school for a while so by moral code is based in that and Buddhism seems to fit closer to that, and I like the idea of karma explains a lot of things that happened. Christianity states you deep what you sow. that was easy to accept the karma philosophy
