Prayer is one of those things that people turn to for many different reasons. Some people turn to prayers as a matter of habit but they do not really bother to get anything out of it. Others pray for their own benefits while a few would pray for others. There are even groups of people who pray to their chosen deities based on whatever religious code they follow. To each his own they say but Ilchi Lee disagrees and this is how the Ilchi Lee prayer of peace came to be.
If you have been following the master you will know that he is all about people overcoming their individual weaknesses and forming a core group that will work for the betterment of everyone and the world and that is pretty much what the prayer advocates. Ilchi Lee is not bound by rules of age, race, or religion because those cause division lines to be drawn and that is when people pull away from each other and that is what breeds negativity.
What is the prayer?
As mentioned, the prayer of peace is a message that seeks to unify people of the earth. This prayer isn’t for the Christian God or the Buddhist God but a God that serves all of humanity and looks out for everyone regardless of faith, age, skin colour, and geographical location. It prays to a God who does not serve one religion and yet serves of people of all religions at the same time.
Ilchi Lee first read this prayer of peace back in August 2000 during the UN millennium world peace summit of religious and spiritual leaders. It has the distinction of having been translated into 16 different languages so that more people can take up the cause of building a more united Earth that everyone can live in.
On a New Year’s Day back in 2011, more than 2000 people pledged to read the prayer so they can start New Year off on the right food. It was also a ringing declaration of peace for all.
It is a mantra?
It is called the prayer of peace but it can serve as a manta for those who desire to become a citizen of Earth and thus rid themselves of ties and labels that create divisiveness. This is a mantra that is perfect for people who do not think of defining themselves in terms of nationality, religion, colour, gender, or age but rather people who see themselves as a citizen of one planet. Once you see yourself as a member of one planet, you will feel greater empathy with other Earth citizens. llchi Lee prayer of peace is for everyone to consider.
I never knew the value of it until I've encountered some people who really gets inspired by them. So simple, so short, yet so profound.
