And naturally a lot of Adpihi prayers sound like they came from the Methodist hymnal, which means they sound Anglican, which means they sound Roman Catholic.
Does anyone know any common or popular prayers of any other denominations or religions?
Naturally I'd prefer them in English translation.
Anyone know any Eastern Orthodox prayers that aren't just as Roman Catholic as Eastern Orthodox?
Anyone know any Roman Catholic prayres that aren't just as Protestant as they are Roman Catholic?
Anyone know any prayers more popular or common in one Protestant denomination than in others?
Anyone know any Jewish prayers that aren't just as Christian as Jewish?
Anyone know any Islamic prayers that aren't just as Christian, or just as Jewish, as Islamic? How about the other way 'round -- Christian and/or Jewish prayers that are specifically Christian or Jewish, and specifically not Islamic?
Anyone know any Sunni prayers that are more Sunni than Shi'ite?
Anyone know any Shi'a prayres that are more Shi'a than Sunni?
How about others -- Sufi prayers, for instance?
Does anyone know any Confucian prayers? or any Taoist prayers? or any Shinto prayers?
How about Buddhist prayers and/or Hindu prayers and/or Jain prayers?
Anyone know any Theravada prayers that aren't just as Mahayana as they are Theravada?
Anyone know any Mahayana prayers that aren't just as Theravada as they are Mahayana?
Anyone know any Buddhist prayers that are more Buddhist than Hindu, or any Hindu prayers that are more Hindu than Buddhist?
Anyone know any Sikh prayers that are more Sikh than Hindu or Muslim, or any Hindu or Muslim prayers that are more Hindu or Muslim than Sikh?
Can anyone think of any questions I left out? |

I can attempt to answer some of these 
A Roman-Catholic prayer that is more Catholic than anything else is the Hail Mary, I don't hear a lot of protestants saying that one. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_Mary
For a sort-or universal Chrisian prayer, The Lord's prayer.
A really Jewish prayer is The Shema. It is normally spoken in Hebrew, but is translated into English sometimes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shema
A uniquely Muslim prayer is The Fatiha. I don't really know of any that are uniquely Sunni or Shi'a though. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Fatiha
A Hindu mantra is Jai Sri Krishna /dZe s4i k4iSn@/ or sometimes Jai Shri Krishna /dZe S4i k4iSn@/. It translates to "Hail Lord Krishna". This is normally said with the aid of a Japa Mala.

Lemme see, Dabei Zhou (great compassion mantra) is the most Buddhist I've heard so far. It's also the most Mahayana. Basically chanting the names of past boddhisattvas.
The most Buddhist unarguably is om mani padme hum. Oh lotus jewel amen, or something to that effect.
