Everything in the world is fleeting and impermanent. In samsara, all living beings are suffering. We have to see everything as non-self and understand that everything in the world is intrinsically empty in nature. There is nothing that can be depended upon and nothing is worth pursuing. This is the worldview of a Buddhist. Having deeply felt the suffering of all living beings in samsara brings two benefits to oneself and others, which are:

(1) a mind that focuses one-pointedly on pursuing liberation, and
(2) the generation of unconditional love towards all sentient beings in samsara.
