I give amity to all, and enmity to none.
Know that violence is the root-cause of
all miseries in the world.
Violence, in fact, is the knot of bondage.
“Do not injure any living being.”
This is the eternal, perennial, and unalterable
way of spiritual life.
A weapon, however powerful it may be,
can always be superseded by a superior weapon;
however no weapon can
be superior to non-violence and love.
-Jain prayer, India

We all know that
the chain of cause and effect can be
heavy enough
to cause fatalities.
May we also understand that
the chain of love islight enough
to be an angel’s necklace.
An angel sends us love for each pang of hurt
we endure.
-Modern prayer from Tehran, Iran

The day of death is when two worlds meet with a kiss:
this world going out, the future world coming in.
-Jewish prayer by Jose ben Abin

Where there is pain, cures will be found.
Where there is poverty, wealth will be supplied.
When there are questions, answers will be given.
Spend less time worrying, and more time trusting.
-Rumi
