Buddhist Prayer for PeaceMay 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 age, the unprotected--
be guarded by beneficial celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood
PEACE!!!!

Sad Emo, I like the sentiment of this thread.
I was about to post another thread called SECURITY !!!!!
But I was afraid of sudden destruction (in view of the Bible's "Peace and Security" prophecy).

The Pathfinder's Prayer for Peace
We each walk a spirit path in search for truth,
that elusive end to which we will never come,
but which illuminates our paths so brightly.
May our fleeting flash of conscious finitude
burn brightly
with reason, compassion
and a desire for peace
for self and all others.
May we love and care for each other
as we would do for ourselves.
May we love and care for the nurturing Earth
as we would love and care for our selves,
for we are all of one substance, one spirit.
Because we are all of one substance,
let us reach out our hands
and gently pull up
the least among us,
those neglected, oppressed, suffering or in pain,
with nurturance, understanding,
patience, wisdom and love.
May we find the means to
resolve our conflicts of spirit,
our infusions, assimilations and adaptations,
without violence nor war
but through diplomacy, accord and good minds.
May the needs of people persevere
over the needs of profiteering corporations.
May we have the courage
to put away selfish, preconceived notions and dogmas
when they conflict with our ability to love one another as we are.
May we flourish
in this wondrous world of diversity and life with joy,
One Spirit,
in infinite forms,
of mutual respect.
Celebrate Peace.
Amen.

May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you,
Guide your way on.
Shalom.
