Can praying to the Buddha or bodhisattva help extend one's life span?

I always enjoy listening to Master Sheng Yen's teaching on Buddhism. I only learned about him last year. Luckily there are many videos of his teaching in Youtube.
Some people do good deeds with the intention to create merit for the sake of themselves as well as for the sake of their descendents. The ultimate merit comes from performing good deeds and not doing evil, while purifying our mind.
