Buddhist Prayers for Peace
Traditional.
These two powerful Buddhist prayers have given inspiration and inner peace to countless humans throughout the ages. Reading them–and letting them into our hearts–may be a first step toward world peace.
I
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 wilderness–
the children, the aged,
the unprotected–
be guarded by beneficial celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.
II
Evoking the presence of the great compassion, let us fill our hearts with our own compassion–towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Let us pray that all living beings realize that they are all brothers and sisters, all nourished from the same source of life.

We create ourselves anew by moving into the aspirational space found in prayers. By announciating our intentions, we physically and spiritually exhale deeper in order in inhale more fully. We then leave behind the incomplete parts of ourselves in order to experience life more completely. We then can become one with humanity. We become unified within and with others.
