99. Q: What's peacefulness like?
      A: What's confusion? Well, peacefulness is the end of confusion.

100. Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It's is not found in a forest or on a hill top, nor is given by a teacher, Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.

101. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will have complete peace.

102. Actually, in truth, there isn't anything to human beings. Whatever we may be, it's only in the realm of appearances. However, if we go beyond appearances and see the truth, we will see that there isn't anything there but the universal characteristics - birth in the beginning, change in the middle, and cessation in the end. This is all there is. If we see that all things are like this, then no problems arise.   If we understand this, we will have contentment and peace.

103. Know what is good and bad, whether travelling or living in one place. You can't find peace on the mountain or in a cave. You can even go to where the Buddha attained enlightenment without getting closer to the truth.

104. Looking outside the self is to compare and to discriminate. You will not find happiness that way.  Nor  will you find peace if you spend your time looking for a perfect person or the perfect teacher. The Buddha taught us to look at the Dhamma, the truth, and not to look at other people. 

105. Anyone can  build a house of wood and bricks, but the Buddha taught us that sort of home is not our real home. It's a home in the world and it follows the ways of the world. Our real home is inner peace.

106. The forest is peaceful, why aren't you?  You hold onto things causing your confusion. Let nature teach you. Hear the bird's song then let go. If you know nature, you'll know Dhamma. If you know Dhamma, you'll know nature.

107. Looking for peace is like looking for  a turtle with a mustache. You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.

108. Virtue, concentration, and wisdom together make up the Path. But this Path is not yet the true teaching, not what the teacher actually the wanted, but merely the Path that will take you there. For example, say you traveled the road from Bangkok to  Wat Pah Pong; the road was necessary for your journey, but you were seeking Wat Pah Pong, the monastery, not the road. IN the same way, we can say that virtue, concentration, and wisdom are outside the truth of the Buddha but are road that leads to this truth. When you have developed these three factors, the result is the most wonderful peace.
