Prayer Quotes - from Vedas, Bhagwat Gita and Buddha

With all thy strength fly unto God,

And surrender thyself, and by his

Grace thou shall obtain Supreme Peace

And reach the Eternal Home.


—FROM THE BHAGAVAD GITA







Hold firm to the truth as a lamp

and a refuge and do not look for refuge

to anything beside yourselves.

A monk becomes his own lamp by continually

looking on his body, feelings, perceptions, moods,

and ideas in such a manner that he conquers

the cravings and depressions of ordinary persons

and is always diligent, self-possessed,

and collected in mind. Whoever among

my monks does this, either now or when

I am dead, if he is anxious to learn,

will reach the summit.



—THE BUDDHA







May there be peace in the

higher regions; may there

be peace in the firmament;

may there be peace on earth.

May the waters flow peacefully;

may the herbs and plants

grow peacefully; may all the

divine powers bring unto us peace.

The supreme Lord is peace.

May we all be in peace, and

only peace; and may that peace

come unto each of us.

Shanti! Shanti! Shanti!
