4. Peace to all of you. You are my brothers and sisters.

I'm a Christian, but I think Jesus can speak for us all; He was an Orthodox Jew, the Founder of Christianity, and is the second-most important Prophet of Islam after Mohammed. Let us have peace on Earth.

I wasn't expecting to see this on DU and actually got a little emotional here at my desk seeing the Christians, Jews and others wishing us (Muslims) and others well on our holidays.

Shalom to all, salam to all, peace to all, and best wishes to all for the Holidays DU'rs hold dear.

May we work towards an age of communication, respect and peace between all people.

(My local kosher deli ACTUALLY has a Muslim working there - it's cool!)

28. The rules for Kosher food and Halal food

are very similar, though not the same, thus a Muslim can appreciate the requirements for keeping a deli kosher.

20. Thank you for this, and whether religious or not, I think the following

is a wonderful sentiment. In case you are not aware, the Jewish new year is a time of repentance and introspection. From my family to yours, we wish you peace and love this Rosh Hashana and Ramadan and autumn (spring down under...).

From Rabbi Michael Lerner, a very progressive leader and decent human at
www.spiritualprogressives.org

BEDTIME PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS

YOU, my ETERNAL FRIEND, WITNESS now that I forgive anyone who hurt or upset me or who offended me-

- damaging my body, my property, my reputation
- or damaging people that I love--
whether by accident or purposely-- with words, deeds, thoughts or attitudes.

I forgive every person who has hurt or upset me.
May no one be punished because of me.

May no one suffer from karmic consequences for hurting or upsetting me.

Help me, Eternal Friend, to keep from offending You and others.
Help me to be thoughtful and not commit outrage by doing what is evil in Your eyes.

Whatever sins I have committed, blot out, please, in Your abundant kindness, and spare me suffering or harmful illnesses.

Help me become aware of the ways I may have unintentionally or intentionally hurt others,
- and please give me guidance and strength to rectify those hurts--- and to develop the sensitivity to not continue acting in a hurtful way.

Let me forgive others,
- let me forgive myself--but also let me change in ways that make it easy for me to avoid paths of hurtfulness to others.

I seek peace, let me BE peace.
I seek justice, let me be just.
I seek a world of kindness, let me be kind.
I seek a world of generosity, let me be generous with all that I have.
I seek a world of sharing, let me share all that I have.
I seek a world of giving, let me be giving to all around me.
I seek a world of love-- let me be loving beyond all reason,
beyond all normal expectation, beyond all societal frameworks that tell me how much love is "normal,"
- beyond all fear that giving too much love will leave me with too little.

And let me be open and sensitive to all the love that is already coming to me,
- the love of people I know,
-
- the love that is part of the human condition,
-
- the accumulated love of past generations that flows through and is embodied in the language,
o music, recipes, technology,
o literature, religions, agriculture,
o and family heritages that have been passed on to me and to us.

Let me pass that love on to the next generations in an even fuller and more explicit way.

Source of goodness and love in the universe, let me be alive to all the goodness that surrounds me.
And let that awareness of the goodness and love of the universe be my shield and protector.

Hear the words of my mouth and may the meditations of my heart find acceptance before You, Eternal Friend, who protects and frees me.
Amen.
