What is your definition of serenity ?

Yes, you are right.... serenity is indeed used for both, that is for the state of mind as well as for the state of ambient environment, although I believe that it is more to do with the state of mind and even when we refer to externals as serene, what we really mean is that those externals help our mind to achieve the state of serenity. Tranquility is a reasonably close synonym.

I understand serenity by differentiating it from peace...... peace is the state 'caused' by the absence of disturbing elements whereas serenity is the state achieved by the attitude of detached equanimity..... in other words, peace is generated by the favorable state of emotions and externals whereas serenity is self-generated by the toned mind irrespective of favorable or unfavorable influences..... peace carries an element of satisfaction whereas serenity is detached equanimity and acceptance.

Definition Of Serenity

Serenity Definition

Serenity is not a state of mind.

It has got a lot more to do with the intentions and thoughts.

Being calm and silent doesn't mean that the person's thoughts and intentions are positive. Even a person with negative attitude can attain the state of calmness by meditating. And control all his senses.

Meditation can't change a person's intentions , it can only change the state of mind of a person. Meditation will make things abundantly clear, will make one clever but not good from intentions.

Serenity means eternal love, silence and patience all working together for a better cause like knowing the unknown, serving the people and teaching them the lessons of peace.

Perhaps you have defined it already.

It is almost a state of mind if you think about it; it's concerned with maintaining composure in a certain situation or simply residing in a calm/serene atmosphere.

The world itself will never achieve complete serenity though. Man simply has a natural inclination to stir a particularly unnerving atmosphere. Then again, I suppose it's integral to every living organism; or else we wouldn't be sitting here - survival of the fittest my friend!

Serenity is something my iPod gives me ,when I lock myself in a dark room.

Thats the only time I feel Serenity.

I believe it is both of the above of what you have said.

The state of mind, plus the quiet ambiance a certain atmosphere.

Thats what creates serenity for me.

RE:

What is your definition of serenity ?

Is it tranquil state of mind ? or a very calm and quite ambiance and atmosphere ? or a state of deep spiritual meditation where you stop receiving inputs from all sensory perception ?

Serenity is a movie by Jos Wheaton. .. .

A pretty good one.

I would give it for the tranquil state of mind.My dear friend meditation is not stopping of any inputs but it is the state where we don't interpret to any inputs,just letting it to pass as a passing clouds.
