How to Cultivate Peace of Mind
There is no guarantee of security in this world because material conditions and our worldly possessions are unreliable. Therefore, Buddhism teaches us to cultivate peace of mind, for as long as we can calm and stabilize our own mind, our environment will not matter. Peace of mind doesn't lie in any outside person, situation or thing for protection. Instead, we should face reality and maintain a balanced body and mind. As long as we do our part then our mind will be at ease and at peace.

Repentance is about resolving to take responsibility for our misdeeds, improving ourselves and making redress. It enables us to accept our difficulties with inner peace rather than blame others.
Why there are so many Buddhas, bodhisattvas and deities in Buddhism?
Buddhism is atheistic. Buddhahood is achieved by sentient beings, a bodhisattva assists Buddhas in liberating beings, and deities protect the Three Jewels so the Dharma may be promoted.
