True meaning of Peace
The most important factor
is maintaining peace within oneself.
in the face of any difficulty,
is one's mental attitude.
If it is distorted by such feelings
as anger, attachment or jealousy,
then even the most comfortable environment
will bring one no peace.
Om the other hand,
if one's attitude is generally calm and gentle,
then even a hostile environment
will have little effect
on one's inner peace.
Since the basic source of peace
and happiness is one's own
mental attitude, it is worthwhile
adopting means to develop it
in a positive way.
H.H.The XIVth Dalai Lama
