Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally and
spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep
oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Being "at peace" is
considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of
being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated with
bliss and happiness.

Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a
disposition free from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner
peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may
be cultivated by various forms of training, such as prayer,
meditation, T'ai Chi Ch'uan or yoga, for example. Many spiritual
practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself.
Finding inner peace is often associated with traditions such as
Buddhism and Hinduism.

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, emphasizes the importance of inner
peace in the world:

"The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings,
so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace,
genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of
individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must
first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include
our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet." [1]
