Who do Buddhist Monks pray to?

If you consider prayer to be an homage to a deiry or a request or assistance from this same deity, then Buddhist monks don't pray at all as Buddhism has no deity, The monk's chanting helps them meditate and fix their minds on the aspects of Buddhist thinking that lead to enlightenment.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
