one thing i'm wrestling with is the chicken and the egg though i'm not really wrestling with it just juggling it.
I start every meditation by reciting the refuge vows and end it by dedicating the merit to all beings. If this is prayer, then, yes, I pray and prayer is an important part of Buddhism. If someone has never recited the refuge formula, they're pretty much not a Buddhist by definition.
