This week's list is inspired by the following two passages about peace:

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)

Let not your heart be troubled...Notice that this is in the imperative--a command.

And the words of the Buddha, from the Metta Sutta (here translated by the Chenrezig Project):

May all beings be happy.

May they live in safety and joy.

All living beings, whether weak or strong, tall, stout, medium or short, seen or unseen, near or distant, born or to be born, may they all be happy.

Let no one deceive another or despise any being in any state, let none by anger or hatred wish harm to another.

As a mother watches over her child, willing to risk her own life to protect her only child, so with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings,

suffusing the whole world with unobstructed loving-kindness.
