Episode 3252:

Richard Paterson reveals that profound peace is our true nature, accessible through meditation. He explains that by quieting the mind, even momentarily, we can experience the inherent peace that always exists within us, offering a transformative perspective on handling anxiety and unhappiness.

Quotes to ponder:

"Peace is not something to find or create but something to recognise."

"Don’t try to be a peaceful person. Be peace."

"There is no such thing as peace of mind. Mind means disturbance; restlessness itself is mind."
