Reverend Phran meditated on each individual prayer to perceive a single attribute. That attribute was researched and a crystal or stone was found that held that meaning. And voila, the Peace Bracelet was born. To further enhance the bracelet, small silver and gold spacer beads were placed between the groups of crystals and stones. The result was that every part of the bracelet holds meaning. The gold and silver beads represent masculine and feminine energy. The cord it is strung on serves to remind us that we are all connected through our center.

The attribute of each stone and the religion it represents:

Hindu - sodalite - courage

Buddhist - peridot - patience

Zoroastrian - lapis lazuli - understanding

Jainist - obsidian - forgiveness

Jewish - citrine - compassion

Shinto - tourmaline - joy

Native African - aquamarine - clarity

Native American - jade - wisdom

Muslim - amethyst - gratitude

Baha'i - agate - abundance

Sikh - carnelian - generosity

Christian - rose quartz - love

Silver - feminine

Gold - masculine

These are the 12 Peace Prayers:

Hindu

Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real. Oh God, lead us from darkness to light. Oh God, lead us from death to immortality. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all.

Buddhist

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May all beings swiftly attain Buddhahood.

Zoroastrian

We pray to God that understanding will triumph over ignorance, that generosity will triumph over indifference, that trust will triumph over contempt, and that truth will triumph over falsehood.

Jainist

Peace and universal love is the essence of all the Gospels. Forgive do I creatures all, and let all creatures forgive me.

Jewish

Oh come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that we may walk the path of the Most High. And we will beat our swords into ploughshares and our spears into pruning hooks.

Shinto

We earnestly wish that the wind will soon puff away all the clouds hanging over the tops of the mountains.

Native African

For you are the one who does not hesitate to respond to our call, you are the cornerstone of peace.

Native American

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect and to be kind to one another, so that we may grow with peace in mind.

Muslim

Praise be to the Lord of the Universe, who has created us and made us into tribes and nations that we may know each other, not despise each other.

Baha'i

Be a breath of life unto the body of humankind, a dew upon the soil of the human heart, and a fruit upon the tree of humility.

Sikh

Know that we attain God when we love, and only that victory endures in consequence of which no one is defeated.

Christian

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. Blessed be the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.
