Prayers for PEACE

[Guest guest]

Hindu Prayer for Peace

 

Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real

Of God, lead us from darkness to light

Oh God, lead us from death to immortality

Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all.

 

O Lord God almighty may there be peace in Celestial regions.

May there be peace on earth

May the waters be appeasing

May herbs be wholesome, and may trees and plants bring peace to all.

May all beneficent beings bring peace to us

May thy Vedic Law propogate 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.

 

Buddhist Prayer for Peace

 

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind

quickly be freed from their illnesses.

May those frightened cease to be afraid

and may those bound be free.

May the powerless find power,

and may people think of befriending one another.

May those who find themselves in trackless,

fearful wildernesses - the children, the aged, the unprotected- be

guarded by beneficent celestials,

and may they quickly attain Buddhahood.

 

Zorastrian Prayer for Peace

 

We pray to God to eradicate all the misery in the world:

that understanding triumph over ignorance,

that generosity triumph over indifference,

that trust triumph over contempt, and

that truth triumph over falsehood.

 

Jainist Prayer for Peace

 

Peace and Universal Love is the essence of the Gospel preached by all

the Enlightened Ones.

The Lord has preached that equanimity is the Dharma.

Forgive do I, creatures all,

and let all creatures forgive me.

Unto all have I amity, and unto none enmity.

Know that violence is the root cause of all miseries in the world.

Violence in fact, is the knot of bondage.

'Do not injure any living being."

This is the eternal, perennial, and unalterable

way of spiritual life.

 

A weapon, howsoever powerful it may be,

can always be superseded by a superior one;

but no weapon can, however,

be superior to non-violence and love.

 

Jewish Prayer for Peace

 

Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that we may walk the

paths of the most high.

And we shall beat our swords into ploughshares, and our spears into

pruning hooks.

Nations thall not lift up sword against nation - neither shall they

learn war any more.

And none shall be afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has

spoken.

 

Shinto Prayer for Peace

 

Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us, I

believe, are all our brothers and sisters, why are there constant

troubles in this world?

Why do winds and waves rise in the ocean surrounding us?

I only earnestly wish that the wind will soon puff away all the

clouds which are hanging over the tops of the mountains.

 

Native African Prayer for Peace

 

Almighty God, the Great

Thumb we cannot evade to tie any knot:

The Roaring Thunder that splits mighty trees;

the all-seeing Lord up on high who sees

even the footprints of an antelope on a rock mass here on earth.

You are the one who does not hesitate to respond to our call.

You are the cornerstone of peace.

 

Native American Prayer for Peace

 

O Great spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you;

To your messengers in the four winds, and

to Mother Earth who provides for your children.

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to

be kind to each other, so that they may grow with peace in mind.

 

Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this

Earth.

 

Muslim Prayer for Peace

 

In the name of Allah the beneficent, the merciful.Praise be to the

Lord of the Universe who has created us and made us into tribes and

nations that we may know each other, not that we may despise each

other.

If the enemy incline towards peace, do thou also incline towards

peace, and trust God, for the Lord is the one that heareth and

knoweth all things.

And the servants of God, most Gracious are those who walk on the

earth in Humility, and when we address them, we say "PEACE"

 

The Baha'i Prayer for Peace

 

Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity,

Be fair in thy judgement, and guarded in thy speech.

Be a lamp unto those who walk in darkness, and a home

to the stranger.

Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.

Be a breath of life to the body of humankind, a dew to the soil of

the human heart,

and a fruit upon the tree of humility.

 

Sihk prayer for Peace

 

God adjudges us according to our deeds, not the clothes that we wear;

That truth is above everything, but higher still is truthful living.

Know that we attain God when we love, and only that victory endures

in consequences of which no one is defeated.

 

Christian Prayer for Peace

 

Blessed are the Peacemakers

for they shall be known as the Children of God

But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who

hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.

To those who strike you on the cheek offer the other also, and from

those who take away your cloak, do not withhold your coat as well.

Give to everyone who begs from you, and of those who take away your

goods, do not aks them again.

And as you wish that others would to do you,

do so to them.
