eternal peace

Perpetual absence of conflict

Eternal peace is a state of lasting tranquility, free from conflict or disturbance.

The phrase appears in religious and philosophical contexts describing an ideal afterlife or spiritual rest: May she find eternal peace.

It also names the political aspiration for permanent end to war between nations, as in Kant's essay on the subject.

On gravestones and in eulogies, rest in eternal peace wishes the deceased perpetual calm.
