Siddhārtha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, said, “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” Buddhists believe people can live in peace and harmony only if we abandon negative emotions such as anger in our minds and cultivate positive emotions such as love and compassion. In a time when people have become accustomed to looking for magic pills….to fall asleep, to wake up….to have energy, to calm down….to stop worrying, to stimulate thought….sometimes we forget that our minds and hearts and the environment we place ourselves in have the power to do more than we think.
