Peace Prayers with Present Focus
1. Hindu
Oh God who is in all, we are grateful
as You lead us from the unreal to the real
Oh God within us, we are joyous
as You lead us from darkness into light
Oh God presence that is our Spirit’s focus,
we live in joy and gratitude
as You lead us from death to immortality.
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti is in All
2. Buddhist
All beings everywhere plagued with
apparent sufferings of body and of mind
Are in truth quickly freed from their illnesses
All beings swiftly attain Buddhahood

That understanding triumphs over ignorance
That generosity triumphs over indifference
That trust triumphs over contempt
And that truth triumphs over falsehood

Peace and Universal love is the essence of all gospels
Forgive do I creatures all
And all creatures forgive me

O Come¸ we’ll go up to the mountain of the One beyond Names
And we walk the paths of the Most High
We beat our swords into plough shares
And our spears into pruning hooks

All the clouds hanging over the tops of the sacred mountains

To respect, and to be kind to one another
So that we all grow, with peace in our mind

In the Name of Allah, the Loving One. All praise to The Embodiment of Peace,
The Originator who created us. The Appreciative One to all tribes and nations,
embodying Justice for all; calling us to be Equitable with each other not despising anyone,
greeting everyone we meet with “Peace be with you.”
10. Baha’i
In Truth, we are a Breath of Life for the body of Humankind
A sustaining dew upon the soil of the Human Heart
And a fruit upon the Tree of Humility

And only that victory endures, in consequence of which
No one is defeated
12. Christian
Guide us to love our enemies,
and do good to those who appear to hate us
To bless those who appear to curse us
And to pray for those who appear to abuse us
Blessed are the peacemakers, for we are called the Children of God
