Peace of mind or a calm state of mind is rooted in affection and compassion and is sensitive and responsive to others.

Unlike physical progress, which is subject to natural restrictions, the qualities of the mind can be developed limitlessly.

Our attitude towards suffering becomes very important because it can affect how we cope with suffering when it arises.
