Buddhist prayers
Chants for enlightenment
Buddhist prayers are devotional recitations, chants, or meditations practiced within Buddhist traditions.
Unlike petitionary prayers to a deity, Buddhist prayers typically involve mantras, sutras, or expressions of intention—seeking enlightenment, cultivating compassion, or dedicating merit to others: She began her day with Buddhist prayers for all sentient beings.
