Peace means the tranquillity that comes from a mind that has attained nibbana or a condition of openness and emptiness that constitutes freedom, a going beyond all things: beyond body and mind, and beyond all the laws limiting body and mind. It is something that no one can put limitations on, except in a hypothetical sense.
