"Although I'm trained as a doctor, although I'm trained as a professor, I can still be subject to unemployment like anyone. Nobody hires me. For that reason, this kind of foundation isn't necessarily the foundation of non-fear. It can give us... It can give us a feeling of security. But perhaps it may not be enough to allow us to have true security. However, what we call "karma" is something much more reliable. When we have loving-kindness and compassion in our hearts, we're protected in a very concrete way."
