“The most important factor in main-taining peace within oneself, in the face of any difficulty, is one’s mental attitude. If it is distorted by such feelings as anger, attachment, or jealousy, then even the most comfortable environment will bring one no peace. On the other hand, if
one’s attitude is generally calm and gentle, then even a hostile
environment will have little effect on one’s own inner peace. Since the
basic source of peace and happiness is one’s own mental attitude, it is worthwhile adopting means to develop it in a positive way.” —H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama
