The Unfaltering Vow

 

 

It is appropriate to cherish and protect this world for it is both our home

and of those yet to come.

A world so immense, yet so easily destroyed by selfishness and fear.

May all beings savor the nectar of contentment

to overcome desiring more than is needed

and bring forth the resolve to live gently and simply.

 

It is right for us to respect every being for they are one with us,

different aspects of a single entity.

We may feel we are dissimilar or superior,

but we share universal values and all seek to live and be happy.

May the perfection of our true selves blossom within us

as we let go of discrimination and contention

and bring forth forgiveness and generosity.

 

It is time to heal the wounds born of grasping and violence,

for if left untended, they will fester and cause irreparable damage.

For as we sow, we will reap.

May all our hearts and minds draw together

to forge the unfaltering vow to bring our world lasting peace.

 

~ Prayer to be given at One Humanity, Many Faiths Interfaith Summit ~
