Peace of mind

"Since Buddhism is a religion that does not raise the question of god, what is its basis for peace of mind? In contrast to a posture of bowing down before the God of Christianity or some god of another religion, the fundamental posture of Buddhism is the true self settling on the true self. This fundamental posture is to settle upon our undeniable, immovable self without being dragged about by our unstable thoughts."
