peace: 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; 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. Baha'i Prayer for Peace Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be fair in judgment, 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. 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.

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 A weapon, howsoever powerful it may be, can always be superseded by a superior one; but no weapon can, however, be superior to non-violence and love. 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.

And the servants of God, most gracious are those who walk on the Earth in humility, and when we address them, we say "PEACE".

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 of mind. Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this Earth. Shinto Prayer for Peace Although the people living across the ocean surrounding us are all our brother and sister, why are there constant troubles in this world? Why do winds and waves rise in the oceans surrounding us? I only earnestly wish that the wind will soon puff away all the clouds which are hanging over the tops of mountains. Zoroastrian 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. Sikh Prayer for Peace God adjudges us according to our deeds, not by the coat that we wear. Know that Truth is above everything, but higher still is truthful living. Know that we attaineth God when we loveth, and only 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 that strike you on the cheek, offer the other one 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 ask for them again. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48
peace: Is there any Remover of difficulties save God? Say: Praised be God! He is God! All are His servants, and all abide by His bidding! —The Báb
peace: O Thou kind Lord! Thou hast created all humanity from the same stock. Thou hast decreed that all shall belong to the same household. In Thy Holy Presence they are all Thy servants, and all mankind are sheltered beneath Thy Tabernacle; all have gathered together at Thy Table of Bounty; all are illumined through the light of Thy Providence. O God! Thou art kind to all, Thou hast provided for all, dost shelter all, conferrest life upon all.

Let the religions agree and make the nations one, so that they may see each other as one family and the whole earth as one home. May they all live together in perfect harmony. O God! Raise aloft the banner of the oneness of mankind. O God! Establish the Most Great Peace. Cement Thou, O God, the hearts together. O Thou kind Father, God! Gladden our hearts through the fragrance of Thy love. Brighten our eyes through the Light of Thy Guidance. Delight our ears with the melody of Thy Word, and shelter us all in the Stronghold of Thy Providence. Thou art the Mighty and Powerful, Thou art the Forgiving and Thou art the One Who overlooketh the shortcomings of all mankind. -'Abdu'l-Bahá

peace: “And we created you in nations and tribes so that you may know one another.” – Translation, Quran 49:13
peace: What is real unity? ...man is distinguished from the animal by his degree or kingdom. This comprehensive distinction includes all the posterity of Adam and constitutes one great household or human family which may be considered the fundamental or physical unity of mankind. ...a distinction exists between various groups of humankind according to lineage...There is also the unity of tongue...national unity...and political unity... All these unities are imaginary and without real foundation, for no real result proceeds from them. The purpose of true unity is real and divine outcomes. The unity which is productive of unlimited results is first a unity of mankind which recognizes that all are sheltered beneath the overshadowing glory of he All-Glorious; that all are servants of one God; for all breathe the same atmosphere, live upon the same earth, move beneath the same heavens, receive effulgence from the same sun and are under the protection of one God. This is the most great unity...the radiance and favors of God are encompassing, minds have developed, perceptions have become acute, sciences and arts are widespread and capacity exists for the proclamation and promulgation of the real and ultimate unity of mankind...It will reconcile all religions, make warring nations loving, cause hostile kings to become friendly and bring peace and happiness to the human world. It will cement together the Orient and Occident, remove forever the foundations of war and upraise the ensign of the “Most Great Peace”... ‘Abdu'l-Bahá, Foundations of World Unity, p. 66-67.
peace: Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. ~ Bible, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7.
peace: An Excerpt from…Song Of The Sindhu Hindu, (Composed by Karkarta Bharat, and sung along the banks of Sindhu river in 5,000 B.C.) Reproduced from 'Return of the Aryans'by Bhagwan S. Gidwani (pages 82-83) "Our desires have grown immeasurable. But they should be desire to give, not merely to receive, to accept and not to reject; to honour and respect, not to deny or belittle...God's gracious purpose includes all human beings and all creation. For God is the Creator; and God is the Creation...Each man has his own stepping stones to reach the One-Supreme...God's grace is withdrawn from no one; not even from those who have chosen to withdraw from God's grace...How does it matter what idols they worship, or what images they bow to, so long as the conduct remains pure. It is conduct then - theirs and ours - that needs to be purified... There can be no compulsion; each man must be free to worship his gods as he chooses. Does every Hindu worship all the gods of all the Hindus? No, he has a free will; a free choice. A Hindu may worship Agni (fire), and ignore other deities. Do we deny that he is a Hindu? ..Another may worship God, through an idol of his choosing. Do we deny that he is a Hindu? Yet another will find God everywhere and not in any image or idol. Is he not a Hindu?. He who was Karkarta before me was a Sun-worshiper. Did the worshipers of Siva ever say that he was not a good Hindu? ... Do the worshipers of Vishnu feel that he who worships before the image of Brahma is not a Hindu?...How can a scheme of salvation be limited to a single view of God's nature and worship? Is then God, not an all- loving Universal God? Clearly then, he who seeks to deny protection to another on the basis of his faith, offends against the Hindu way of life, and denies an all- loving God… Those who love their own sects, idols and images more than Truth, will end up by loving themselves more than their gods...He who seeks to convert another to his own faith, offends against his own soul and the will of God and the law of humanity...In the Kingdom of God, there is no higher nor lower. The passion for perfection burns equally in all, for there is only one class even as there is only one God...The Hindu way of life?... Always it has been and always it shall be...that God wills a rich harmony - not a colorless uniformity...A Hindu must enlarge the heritage of mankind.
peace: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. ~Bible, Psalm 133.

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ~ Buddha

Lauded and glorified art Thou; I yield Thee praise inasmuch as Thou didst reveal Thyself unto me, and I beg Thee to forgive me, since I have fallen short in my duty to know Thee and have failed to walk in the path of Thy love. Báb, Bahá'i Faith
