***The meaning of inner peace and steps to achieving it in daily life
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, emphasises the importance of inner peace in the world: The question of real, lasting world peace conce s human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.
