A Prayer for Peace that translates to a Love of Mankind






The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the most inhuman acts that stain the history of mankind and which we must never allow to be forgotten.


Those terrible acts of killing innocent civilians living in peace in a moment and their miserable outcomes are still continuous around the world.

 

We must make appeals to all the people in the world to eliminate the tragedies of every single war. A “prayer for peace” which transforms human greed and self-interests to a love of mankind is the single most important act that every one of us can do.
