As a Buddhist, I can tell you that there is no such prayer in Buddhism. It's not anyone else's responsibility to help you reach enlightenment. It's your own efforts through practice in meditation and following the 8-fold path of
1. Right understanding
2. Right intention
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration
That's why the Kopp wrote the book in the 1970's, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." It was a fairly dramatic way to say that looking for help to a guru will only keep you stuck in your pattern of suffering, because all gurus will disappoint you.
Good luck in your endeavors. From the best parts of myself I send greetings to the best parts of you.

My church could pray for anything you feel that you need, but if we don't know you personally, it might not be very effective. If you wish to find your Englightenment, it is probably your own prayers that are required.
Sorry for not spell checking.

Your ignorant to make remarks about Buddha. How can you represent your faith and consider yourself holy if you mock another religious figure? All religious figures live on in our hearts. Enlightenment comes from within, and as a spiritual guide we might need or desire other religious figures.Oh, BTW, I'm not Buddhist.

First of all, let me say this. I am agnostic.
Secondly, Buddha himself wouldn't declare or want to be called a 'god.'
Thirdly, Buddha asks for those seeking Enlightenment to have an open mind.
Lastly, Buddhism respects all religions.

not in that respect, sorry. That would be a sin against God because he says not to have graven images or make idols and so I cant pray for that, but I will pray that God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will send someone to enlighten you about him. really I will. God Bless!

Would Buddha wish you to find Jesus or to start keeping Kosher?

I don't see what that has to do with it; but we'll all pray for you ... to be delivered from asking such "intelligent" questions here.

Budha is dead.
Jesus is dead,
Every prophet is dead...
So no one can guide u ...
U will remain in the darkness of unbelieving.....
However if u embrace Islam, there is enlightment & success in life & after-life.
