Gen-la explained that a life beyond fear is a life beyond suffering, pain and problems, and it’s attainable by everyone. Yet in normal society no one knows how to achieve such a state. This is why Buddha is appearing in our world.

Normally, we might think that freedom from fear, suffering, pain and problems will come from waiting for them to stop. But they will never stop on their own. Buddha explains that they will only stop by improving our mind.

Gen-la encouraged us to train in compassion and wisdom in the context of our busy daily life as the method for improving our mind and making it pure. When our mind becomes pure, our actions become pure and then we will have only pure appearances.

This is why training our mind is the real meaning of our life.
