Ilchi Lee's prayer at the opening ceremony in the recent historic United Nations World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders (August 29, 2000) | |||||||
I
offer
this prayer of peace Not to any one god nor to many gods Not to the Christian God Not to the Jewish god Nor to the Buddhist God Nor to the Islamic God And not even to the indigenous gods of many nations But to the divinity within that we all hold inside That makes us all brothers and sisters To make us truly a One Family In the name of humanity. I offer this prayer of peace To the cosmic Oneness that is our birthright And our privilege And our strength That should we let it shine and show us the way Will guide us to the road of peace Not the Christian peace Not the Jewish peace Not the Islamic peace Nor the Buddhist peace And not even the indigenous peace of many nations But the human peace That has a place in the hearts of all people To allow us to truly fulfill our divine potential To become the children of one humanity. I offer this prayer of peace To allow us all to realize The truth of our existence To allow us all to discover The sanctity of our lives To allow us all to seek The spirituality of our beings |
