PEACE TO THE WORLD

By Tatjana-Mihaela


Prayers are poetry of human souls, the way how we communicate with our own creative forces, which we can call Divine within. By doing that we are connected with our spiritual source, our Beginning and the End, with everything and everybody.

While being one with the universal source, we become connected with the power of endless love and our senses bath in the ocean of peace and joy.

Peace is one of the highest human values and ideals, nothing can progress and prosper without peace. Future, full of promises can be created by power of peace only: peace is the basis of all other qualities, the highest expression of unconditional love.

Our outside world is just materialized expression of our inner reality. That is why is so important to find the peace within in the depth of our hearths and minds and give it to the world.

Precious moments of peace change our lives, precious moments of peace change the lives of the others whom we touch with the sacred energy of peace. Peace heals all wounds because it carries the seeds of life and all creative possibilities within.

While praying for peace we become one with the energy of peace and give it to ourselves and this world who needs it so much!


Mahatma Gandhi

When I despair,
I remember that all through history
the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall.

Think of it - always.

Sri Cinmoy about peace:

~

If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality.

Prayer of St. Francis


Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is Hatred, let me sow Love.
Where there is Injury, Pardon.
Where there is Doubt, Faith.
Where there is Despair, Hope.
Where there is Darkness, Light, and
Where there is Sadness, Joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

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 in 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."

Jainist Prayer for Peace

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

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
.

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 wilderness--

the children, the aged, the unprotected--

be guarded by beneficent celestials,

and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

Native American Prayer for Peace

 O Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you.
To your messengers 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 the good things you provide for us on this Earth.

Jewish Prayer for Peace

 

Come let us go up 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.

Nation shall 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.

Sufi Prayer for Peace

 

O Almighty Sun, whose light clears away all clouds,
We take refuge in you.
Guide of all people, God of all deities, Lord of all angels,
We pray you to dispel the mists of illusion from the hearts of the nations
And lift their lives by your all-sufficient power,
Your ever shining light, your everlasting life,
Your heavenly joy and your perfect peace.

 

Hindu Prayers for Peace

Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real.
Oh God, lead us from darkness to light.
Oh God, lead us from death to immortality.
Peace, peace, peace unto all.

Oh 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 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.

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.

The following prayer authored by Christian, Jewish and Muslim clergy was used in many places in inter-religious worships around the time of the Gulf War in 1991:

Eternal God, Creator of the universe, there is no God but You.
Great and wonderful are Your works, wondrous are your ways.
Thank You for the many splendoured variety of Your creation.
Thank You for the many ways we affirm Your presence and purpose,
and the freedom to do so.
Forgive our violation of Your creation.
Forgive our violence toward each other.
We stand in awe and gratitude for Your persistent love
for each and all of Your children:
Christian, Jew, Muslim,
as well as those with other faiths.
Grant to all and our leaders attributes of the strong;
mutual respect in words and deed,
restraint in the exercise of power, and
the will for peace with justice, for all.
Eternal God, Creator of the universe, there is no God but You. Amen.

BE AT PEACE WITH YOUR OWN SOUL

Be at peace with your own soul
then heaven & earth will be at peace with you.

Enter eagerly into the treasure
house that is within you,

And you will see the things that are in heaven,
for there is but one single entry to them both.

The ladder that leads to the Kingdom
is hidden within your soul...

Dive into yourself and in your soul
and you will discover the stairs
by which to ascend.

By the way, I used to live near Sri Chinmoy's NY home. His vegetarian restaurant was unbelievably good and cheap. One would actually feel that there was meat in the sandwiches, but it was tofu. Never could duplicate their cooking. Ah, the memories. :)

Yes Theresa, there is no reson to be afraid of our Creator. Fear is the worst human enemy, so often it creates violence and agressor-victim game between the people.

Never thought that we can have a collection of peace prayers too. Very good job as always TM. You seem to have covered almost all the major religion of the world but I guess you missed Sikhism. But never mind that you have always been brilliant, actually brilliant even now, it is just that you missed it.

Now back to the Hub, I really so good that all of them teach us to love and live with peace. All have a pray for the peace of world and humanity. Felt really good but it is really irony that it is religion which has been the cause of so many violance around the world.

Good job TM, keep it up!

Dear PP, thanks for your comment.

I cannot agree more with you: religions can give the best values to the world but they can be excuse for hate and violence. It has nothing to do with religion actually - it is fear from somebody who is different, united with hate - as an expression of fear which produces violence. This would happen with religion or without it.

When humanity does something "in the name of God", it can be good or bad. When humanity does something "in the name of science", or anything else - is the same- sometimes good, sometimes bad.

The person who has tolerant nature will be tolerant with religion or without it.

Many thanks for visit, peace with you...

I was not happy when I lived life on a surface once. Now I try to follow my heart and seek a connection at some deeper level. There is a kindness and empathy about people that makes it a haven in a sometimes confronting world. Increasingly, I’m becoming aware that what the wisest of teachers tell us is true.We can onlybe hapy when we are following our heart. It’s all about shining the soft inner light and turning away from the harsh spotlight of a more material world. When we sacrifice too much on the altar of ambition and material trappings that we lose our way. Now is the time to heed that inner voice and take the risk and go where your heart leads you. Thank you for showing me the way. The most important thing we need in the world now is peace and love.
