Buddha Prayers

Buddhist chants in Pali with phonetics and meanings in English and Marathi

The meditative quality of prayers in Buddhism plays an important role in aiding the practitioner to set his/her intentions towards the main goal; the development of kindness and compassion and the capitulation of the material world.

Prayer has been a part of the human religious experience since the origins of humankind. It is often an expression of gratitude and humility for the gifts and generosity bestowed upon people from God. Buddhist prayer is not only an expression of gratitude for precious human life, but it is also a practice of inner transformation; the creation of a state or condition conducive to the development of compassion, knowledge, and wisdom.

In addition to the inner functions of prayer, Buddhists pray to express gratitude and devotion towards the Buddha. This gratitude is directed to him not because he is perceived as a God, but rather because Buddhists want to give thanks for his teachings. He is praised for providing a path to enlightenment; an escape from the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Prayers of gratitude are also offered for teachers, ancestors, and great Buddhist leaders within the tradition of the practitioner.

Through prayers, Buddhists aim to detach the mind from worldly interests and selfish concerns. In this way, prayer functions to free the mind from mundane thoughts, worries, and anxieties so that the practitioner can reorient himself/herself towards attaining enlightenment.
