About the prayers
Prayers for World Peace is a set of prayers, compiled from traditional sources, that inspire us to cherish others. In the introduction it explains how this works to create world peace:
If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish others, then gradually, through the power of this prayer, everyone will actually cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and everyone will experience pure, everlasting happiness.
