Thein Hlaing Oo, a 19-year-old Secondary 4 student, explores the profound role of faith in human lives. Having grown up in a devout family and experienced monkhood, he views religion not merely as a path to the afterlife but as a guide to finding peace, freedom, and meaning here on Earth. In his thought-provoking talk, Thein Hlaing Oo challenges traditional beliefs about heaven, redefining it as a way of life rather than a destination after death. Through personal stories and interactive activities, he reveals how religion can inspire true peace, freedom, and love—not as a transaction, but as a source of deep fulfillment in everyday life. Join him as he shares how his meditation journey transformed his perspective and invites us to embrace a new understanding of heaven and the role of faith in our lives. Thein Hlaing Oo is a 19-year-old Secondary 4 student at Brainworks International School, Thingangyun Campus. While not a sole believer in any religion, he is deeply interested in how faith shapes human lives. Having grown up in a devout family and experienced monkhood, he now explores religion as a guide to finding peace, freedom, and meaning—not just in the afterlife, but here on Earth.
