In 2000, Dahn Yoga originator Ilchi Lee was invited as one of 50 pre-eminent spiritual leaders in the world at that time to speak at the Opening Ceremony of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders in the General Assembly Hall. When he came to the podium, he offered this prayer of peace for the world.
Prayer of Peace
I offer this prayer of peace
Not to the Christian God
Nor to the Buddhist God
Nor to the Islamic God
Nor to the Jewish God
But to the God of all humanityFor the peace that we wish for
Is Not a Christian peace
Nor a Buddhist peace
Nor an Islamic peace
Nor a Jewish peace
But a human peace
For all of us.I offer this prayer of peace
To the God that lives within all of us
That fills us with happiness and joy
To make us whole
And help us understand life
As an expression of love for all human beingsFor no religion can be better
Than any other religion
For no truth can be truer
Than any other truth
For no nation can be bigger
Than the earth itself.Help us all go beyond
Our small limits
And realize that we are one
That we are all from the earth.
That we are all earth people
before we are Indians, Koreans, or AmericansGod made the earth
We humans have to make it prosper
By realizing that we are of the earth
And not of any nation, race, or religion.
By knowing that we are truly one
In our spiritual heritage.Let us now apologize
to all humanity
For the hurt that religions have caused
So that we can heal the hurt
Let us now promise to one another
To go beyond egotism and competition
To come together as one in God.I offer this prayer of peace
To you the almighty
To help us find you within all of us
So that we may stand proudly one day before you
As one humanity.I offer this prayer of peace
With all my fellow earth people
For a lasting peace on earth.
A video of the same prayer was made, which you may find more engaging:
such a beautifull prayer. is not made for anyone is made for everyone. life is so beautiful.
Your inspirational prayer spoke straight to my soul and heart. The most beautiful prayer I have ever heard. It’s been something I have been feeling for a long, long time, but only found validation in your prayer. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing this message to the world.
True peace is from God, the followers of Yeshua the Messiah (aka Jesus the Anointed / chosen / Messiah). We need peace with God, because we have broken a relationship with Him by disobeying Him.
Jesus paid our debt to God. That payment is only valid, if we accept Yeshua.
We all should be children of God, if we believe in Yeshua.
Your apology to God is worthless if you don’t accept what He has done for you.
You think your apology makes up for putting His Son to death for your breaking of God’s laws?
Apologies, works, yoga.. You can’t earn your way to Heaven. It must come free, if you accept God’s love. Will you?
Col 2:8 “BEWARE lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, and NOT after CHRIST.” – John 4:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
Romans 10:9-10
9Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
This is one of the most beautiful prayers ever written, because it is a prayer for each and every member of the human race, irrespective of religion, race or nationality….it is a prayer for all humanity, and if humanity embraces this prayer in their heart and mind, humanity and the earth can truly live in harmony…Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me…with all of us!!!
Thank you for this inspirational message. We can create lasting peace together!
Thank you so much for a beautiful sharing , enjoyed a lot!
I love this prayer which reminds me of who I am and what I am supposed to do in this life. Thank you for everything. I love you all.
