He moved on and said that life is fragile. Especially, during current times, with Covid-19 and all that, we are literally one breath away from death and in the future there will be many more disasters.

If we don't take the opportunity now to practice, cultivate, hold the precepts, understand the precepts, it will cause misfortune to our family. Why not pass fortune rather than disasters to myself, my family and the people around me?

So fear is also fear of the contrary. Being very stingy, yields the karma of poverty, very fair. If you don't give, you don't get. Another karma of the opposite, is when one scares people or causes people distress, unnecessarily causing people fear, or to put fear into other people in the wrong way. I am not talking about the parents educating children to respect the rules, respect other human beings, that kind of fear is good. I am talking about the unnecessary fear for their life, fear for their career, that kind of harm(fear), not education. (It is) harm. This kind of fear will cause them psychological trauma and harm. If we do that, no matter to how small a degree, it will harm our longevity and obviously if we are stingy and preserve our knowledge by not letting other people know, even though we know 100% of this topic, we only give(teach) 80% for fear of competition, or something like that, then we will yield a karma of ignorance or stupidity. There is no other way around it. This is very raw, just like gravity. Those are the high-end rules, iron laws of karma.
