Let us be at peace within ourselves.

Let us accept that we are profoundly loved and need never be afraid.

Let us be aware of the source of being that is common to us all and to all living creatures.

Let us be filled with the presence of the great compassion towards ourselves and towards all living beings.

Realising that we are all nourished from the same source of life, may we so live that others be not deprived of air, food, water, shelter, or the chance to live.

Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be a cause of suffering to one another.

With humility let us pray for the establishment of peace in our hearts and on earth.
