World Prayers for Peace - Shinto

Shintoism is a religion native to

Japan

, characterized by veneration of nature spirits and ancestors and by a lack of dogma.  We know and hold the Truth expressed in this Shinto Prayer for Peace

 

 

Although the people living

across the ocean

surrounding us, I believe,

are all our brothers and sisters,

why are there constant troubles in

this world?

Why do winds and waves rise in the

ocean surrounding us?

I only earnestly wish that the wind will

soon puff away all the clouds which are

hanging over the tops of the mountains.
