We can lay down most of our suffering and be happy most of the time; not all of the time. Going beyond both pleasure and pain, we can be "peaceful" all of the time, regardless of what stimuli are present.

That is how I see it, too. The Buddha was still visited by Mara after his liberation, still visited by physical pain; but he was not disturbed by them.
