Living in peace is the way that we practice what we should do to others and ourselves with right understanding. Those who practice the teaching of each chapter in this book wisely or bring the teaching to their daily life practice will live in peace without worry.
Faith is a major component of training ourselves to be good or bad. When we have good faith, it keeps us doing good. When we have bad faith, it causes us to do bad.
Progressing from accomplishing the goal in this life to the goal in the next life, we realize that we need to improve our lives in both the short term (this life) and the long term (the next life).

People should have clear goals in their lives. When we have good goals to accomplish, we will not waste our time and life doing other useless things.
