My wish on this anniversary.
A PRAYER FOR PEACE by Thich Nhat Hanh

"As we are together, praying for peace, let us be
truly with each other.
Let us pay attention to our breathing.
Let us be relaxed in our bodies and our minds.
Let us be at peace with our bodies and our minds.
Let us return to ourselves and become wholly
ourselves.
Let us maintain a half-smile on our faces.
Let us be aware of the source of being common to us
all and to all living things.

Evoking the presence of the Great Compassion, let us
fill our hearts with our own compassion---towards
ourselves and towards all living beings. Let us pray
that all living beings realize that they are brothers
and sisters, all nourished from the same source of
life. Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be the
cause of suffering to each other. Let us plead with
ourselves to live in a way which will not deprive
other beings of air, water, food, shelter, or the
chance to live. With humility, with awareness of the
existence of life, and of the sufferings that are
going on around us, let us pray for the establishment
of peace in our hearts and on earth. Amen"
