The Prayer for PeaceHis closest pupil wrote a Prayer for Peace based on his teachings. It is taken from from "The Letter from Heaven".
May it be Your Will , L*rd our G*d and G*d of our Fathers, that You will annul wars and bloodshed from the world and that You will bring a great and wondrous peace into the world and that nation will not lift up sword against nation nor will they learn war any more.
Rather may all inhabitants of the world recognize and know the real Truth, that we did not come into this world for strife and argument , G*d forbid , or for hatred , jealousy , vexation , and bloodshed , G*d forbid , but rather that we came into this world in order to recognize and to know You , may Your Name be blessed forever.
