Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace – Dalai Lama

Tiny Buddha preaching always touches my heart. In this context, as I could learn to practice the followings:

Be kind, fair, tolerant, and patient. Know your ideal self. Make a list of all good qualities you want to cultivate. Stack your good qualities.

Understand mistakes. Correct yourself

No need of perfection. There is NO end of perfection. No need of competing with others.

The Indian Yogi and Guru, mystic Sadhguru has said, it is our basic requirement to be peaceful. It is not the ultimate aim of life.

  • You need to fix yourself first. Look inwards.
  • Have right perspective. Be capable to experience what is happening within you.
  • Act consciously. Meditate regularly.

PEACE IS YOUR INNER FEELING. IT IS YOUR CHOICE WITHIN YOU, WHETHER YOU ARE IN MOUNTAIN OR IN A JUNGLE OR TEMPLE, OR IN SOCIAL LIFE.

The key to happiness is the reduction of desires – Bhagavad Gita

Peace can be achieved by performances of sacrifice – Lord Buddha

PEACE COMES FROM WITHIN

NEVER BE IN HURRY. BE CALM AND QUIET. BE PEACEFUL BY MINIMISING YOUR DESIRES.
