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.
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.

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 swiftly 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.

Any 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can always be superseded by a superior one;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.

If the enemy inclines 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."
