Attaining the Buddha self.
Allah’s gift of peace.
The peace of Yahweh which passes all understanding.
The peace of Jesus, the Son of God, which passeth all understanding.
The peace of God which passes all understanding.
The peace which passes all understanding.
The peace . . .

There is the human experience of transcendent peace – that everything is all right just the way it is – rare and brief as that experience may be.

Then there are the attempts to describe that peace, and how to find it, developing and diverging over millennia of religious and cultural history.  Then there is self-righteousness – the notion that our traditions and our paths are the right ones, not just the right ones for us.

Let us strive not to better describe that peace, but to better live and share it.
