Hindu Prayer for Peace
Lead us from the unreal to the real.
Lead us from darkness to light.
Lead us from death to immortality.
Peace, Peace, Peace unto all.
May there be peace in celestial regions.
May there be peace on Earth.
May the waters be appeasing;
May herbs be wholesome,
and may tress and plants bring peace to all;.
May all beneficent beings bring peace to us.
May the Law propagate peace
all through the world.
May all things be a source of peace to us.
And may thy peace itself, bestow peace on all
and may that peace come to me also.
A Buddhist Reflection
Now under the loving kindness and care of the Buddha, each believer of religion in the world transcends the differences of religion, race, and nationality; discards small differences; and unties in oneness to discuss sincerely how to annihilate strife form the earth. How to reconstruct a world without arms, and how to build welfare and peace of mankind, so that never-ending light and happiness can be obtained for the world of the future. May the Lord Buddha give His loving kindness and blessing to us for the realization of our prayers.
A Native American Prayer
Let us know peace.
For as long as the moon shall rise,
For as long as the rivers shall flow,
For as long as the sun will shine,
For as long ass the grass shall grow,
Let us know peace.
Jewish Prayer
Grant us peace. Your most high gift, O Eternal Source of peace, and give us the will to proclaim its message to all the peoples of the earth. Bless our country, that it may always be a stronghold of peace, and its advocate among the nations. May contentment reign within its borders, health, and happiness within its homes. Strengthen the bonds of friendship among the inhabitants of all lands. And may the love of Your name hallow every home and every heart. Blessed is the Eternal God, the source of Peace.
Peace begins…
...when we pray
...when we listen
...when we embrace our enemies.
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love
will replace the Love of Power.
Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
- William Ewart Gladstone
