Peace Prayers in the World Religions
Those who meditate on You, Lord,
those who meditate on You --
those humble beings
dwell in peace in this world. (Guru Ram Das)
Those who remember God dwell in peace.
(Guru Arjan Dev, Sukhmani,
[The word Sukhmani literally means Peace in your mind])
Hindu Prayer 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.
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 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.
Gnostic Prayer for Peace
When the Blessed One had said this, He greeted them all, saying,
Peace be with you. Receive my peace unto yourselves.
(Yeshua, Gospel of Mary Magdalene)
Peace be with you from Peace, love from Love, grace from Grace, faith from Faith, life from Holy Life! (Apocryphon of James the Just)
Bliss and peace there will be
On the road which Adam attained:
Bliss and peace there shall be
On the road which the soul traverseth.
Go in peace, pure pearl that was transported
From the treasuries of Life;
Go in peace, radiant one,
who illumined
Her dark house.
Go in peace,
Pure and chosen one,
immaculate and spotless!"
Come! receive my prayer and my praise
And lift it up in peace to the Place of Light!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
