Buddhists don't pray to any gods. The Buddha himself indicated that there is no need of a deity to achieve enlightenment.

Buddhism do not believe in God or creator. However in Buddhism theory of Kamma (action) has replaced God because Buddha says past action is responsible for the present status while present action will decide future of a human being and no God or any invisible spirit.

Buddhists do not believe in any immortal, all powerful gods. We believe that some persons, when they pass, can attain a temporary existence in a God Realm (actually called the Deva realm). But these beings are not immortal or all powerful.
