“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” – Buddha
Inner Peace: In Buddhism, peace is primarily an internal state achieved through mindfulness, meditation, and ethical living. It involves the cessation of desires and the cultivation of compassion and wisdom.
Compassion and Nonviolence: Buddhists are taught to practice ahimsa (nonviolence) and compassion towards all living beings. This extends to promoting peace in personal interactions and broader social contexts.
“May all beings be happy; may all beings live in peace.” – Metta Sutta
