Prayer Requests

Buddhist Prayer is a ceremony in which prayers are offered to the Gurus, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to request blessings or invoke their help. Prayers can be requested for many different reasons and circumstances, including success of endevour; removal of difficulties and obstacles in our life and paths; and for the sicks.

Prayer/pujas are also performed for the dying to help pacify their mind, and for the deceased to bless and guide their mind to a higher state of rebirth, liberation, and enlightenment.
