祈禱和平
林鈺堂
使用暴力只會導致暴力的回應，難以休止的暴力循環，以及不斷擴展的苦難。 在暴力的風暴圈中，語言、文字及理論都乏力無效，因為沒有安寧的心地可供反省及思考。 處於這樣的世間，如果有幸在暴力的風暴圈外，我們可以祈禱和平，因為和平是唯一的共同利益的基礎。 大家如果都祈禱和平，纔有可能使得更多人醒悟和平的重要性，而這樣的醒悟纔能使暴力的風暴圈漸漸消弱。

Applying violence will only lead to violent responses, cycles of violences that are difficult to bring to a halt, and ever spreading of suffering and hardships. Within the whirlwind of violence, speeches, words and arguments are feeble and ineffectual because there is no tranquil mentality for reflection and reasoning. Residing in such a worldly environment, if one is fortunate enough to stay outside the whirlwind of violence, then one could pray for peace because peace is the sole foundation for the common interests of all. If all pray for peace, only then could it become possible for more people to realize the importance of peace, and only such awakening could gradually diminish the strength of the whirlwind of violence.
