기도

祈禱 is a second way to write “prayer.”

It is a little more formal than “dao gao” but the general meaning is the same.

This Chinese/Japanese/Korean word can be translated as “to pray,” “to say one's prayers,” or simply “prayer.” Like the other common term for prayer, this term generally applies only to western religions that pray to the God of Abraham (Christians, Jews, and Muslims).
