World Peace Declaration

Peace, a magnificent yet tiny word

Peace, a near yet far state

People who have peace cannot feel its weight

But those who lose peace see it as an unreachable dream

If I could, I would wish for no one on earth to ever feel the heavy weight of losing it

If I could, I would wish for peace to be just a beautiful word of compliment

If I could, I would wish for peace to be like the body of a healthy person

— Holding up the spirit of everyone in the world

— Nurturing the soul for each of us on earth

Peace should not become a magic wand for conspirators

Peace should not be but a distant dream during turmoil

Peace should not be like a pretext

Peace should be cherished by everyone

Peace should escape the setback of heavy suffering

Peace should become a pursuit, with the light of history shining upon reality

Even a belief, a belief in human self-salvation

That is to abandon killing

To despise idiocy

To punish chaos

And to commiserate with the suffering

How much do humans desire peace?

Perhaps just like darkness chasing the moment of daybreak

Humans need that ray of morning light to hold up their faith

Peace is a noble noun, a warm verb

It is also an adjective that will not feel abrupt in any corner of the world

In thousands of years, how many natural disasters have occurred from human error?

And how many bloody wars began with greed?

The fission of human nature will destroy Tao and virtue

The demise of morality will lead to decay of nature, causing violent geographic change

At this time, spirituality will dissipate and disappear

If peace cannot last forever, nature will surely bring disaster

If peace evaporates, everything will be all too late

Only peace can calm calamity

Only peace can debut a new era

Because we need peace in a world that is deteriorating

Because when the war is ravaging, we long for peace

Because in a chaotic situation, we call for peace

Peace is the cornerstone of human existence

It is a bridge for generations to pursue goodness, and connect soul and reality.

Peace promotes love for the people and the country

Peace accumulates universal wisdom, applicable everywhere

Peace has never been a substance, possessed by only certain people

She is pure beauty and great love that every living soul should enjoy

Peace is just, equal, universal and righteous

She is mighty, full of light and hope

She has passion for life, and tramples darkness.

At the core of the soul is the awareness of love

Only in the world of love can all people cohabit with mutual benefit,

unite and forge ahead, sharing prosperity and joy

Only in the world of love can people achieve peace

Only in the world of peace can a great era of civilization be created

Peace is mighty because

She can establish a united world

Because of peace, all people can connect with one heart

Because of peace, all civilizations and religions can gather under one roof

Because of peace, all ethnicities will no longer be biased

Everyone can enjoy a peaceful world and joyful life

Therefore, our world needs peace

Peace is a great and neutral voice

She represents the interests of all mankind

She never divides, nor is she ruthless

She never becomes a civilization or a religion

But she embraces all beliefs and carries everything

She will transform into all kinds of voices

And these voices will eventually be attributed to peace

Because this is love from the original source

It is the spring of life, a sweet dream

In the age of peace, we must firmly remember peace

In the age of chaos, we should build peace

In the age of prosperity, we always defend peace

In the age of bloodshed, we fight for peace

Because the peace must become the sun

Shining into every corner of the land

Because of peace, we can morph into faith

Filling every dark and damp corner

Illuminating the bright future of mankind

For the sun will always be sunny

And the blue sky will always be the blue

For harmony and peace, and common prosperity and enjoyment

For the shared community of humanity, and the great era of civilization

This is our original human dream and pursuit

Therefore, only peace can construct all of our dreams

Only peace can give birth to all beautiful visions

Only the principle of peace can be everlasting

Only peace can bring all to the source, and enable east-west communion

When we unite all forces of peace and jointly enjoy its beauty

When the consciousness of peace permeates each person’s heart

Can the longing of each person’s heart exerts unsurmountable power

To transform into light and love at the new juncture of the earth

What on earth is peace? Peace has never been a substance

She simply teaches us the unity of heart and source,

the ultimate goodness and beauty,

the convergence of all beings and the acceptance of all things

Ending all disputes and building harmonious lands are both laws of peace

For a brighter future of mankind

For resolving past and future crises

We must call for lasting peace, generation after generation

We must tirelessly chase the footsteps of peace

If one day peace does not return to its original place

That day must be the day to fight for peace!
