what they are describing is inner peace, and in a world like this, we cant afford it. we have three immediate things to worry about at the time being, and "inner peace," if thats even achieveable, isn't even one of them. we need to work on the more serious problems before we can even think about what they say is inner peace
Peace is the inner state of calm that remains despite external circumstances. It is cultivated through the development of inner qualities that result in a peaceful state of mind. His Holiness the Dalai Lama explains that as "we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace."
