Hooshmand World Peace Foundation

World peace or peace on Earth is an ideal state of freedom, peace, and

happiness among and within all nations and people. This ideal of world non-

violence provides a basis for people and nations to willingly cooperate, either

voluntarily or by virtue of a system of governance that prevents warfare. While

different cultures, religions, philosophies, and organizations may have differing

concepts about how such an ideal state might come about, they have in

common this ideal of a cessation of all hostility amongst all humanity.

World Peace could be established through religious or secular organizations

that address human rights, technology, education, engineering, medicine, or

diplomacy used as an end to all forms of fighting. For example, since 1945, the

United Nations and the 5 permanent members of its Security Council (the US,

Russia, China, France, and the UK) have worked to resolve conflicts without war

or declarations of war. However, nations have entered numerous military

conflicts since that time.

Inner peace

Main page Inner peace

Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally and spiritually

at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in

the face of stress. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy and the

opposite of being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated

with bliss and happiness.

Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free

from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of

consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of

training, such as prayer, meditation, Tai chi chuan or yoga, for example. Many

spiritual practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself.
