Through the practice of "calm abiding," or tranquility meditation, our restless, thinking mind subsides into a state of deep inner peace. The warring, fragmented aspects of ourselves begin to settle and become friends; negativity and aggression are disarmed; frustration, tension, and turbulent emotions are defused; and the unkindness and harm in us is removed, revealing our inherent "Good Heart." So meditation is real "inner disarmament."
— Sogyal Rinpoche, The Spirit of Buddhism
