The following words were spoken by the Buddha to
promote peace among all living beings (the original
is in Pali).

yanidha bhutani        |  Whatever beings have 
samagatani...          |  come together here...
                       |
sabbe va bhuta sumana  |  May every one of these 
bhavantu...            |  beings be happy...
                       |
tasma hi bhuta         |  And also may all you
nisametha sabbe        |  beings attend well-
                       |
mettam karotha         |  Show loving kindness
manusiya pajaya        |  to all people
                       |
                       |
     - Ratana Sutta    |            - The Jewel Discourse
