The purpose of life is ultimately to acquire internal resources.

First, hunter-gatherer internal resources (we are all still hunter gatherers after all, biologically speaking). The kind that makes you a capable hunter, i.e. the ability to acquire food/goods:

- Self-confidence - Self-belief - Patience - Ability to acquire new skills - Charisma/EQ - Ability to succeed in society and on earth

Then, the qualities preached in religion:

- Peace - Love - Kindness - A teaching and empathetic heart towards others - Compassion, etc.

Once you've acquired these things, you will no longer be afraid of death. Because you will have accomplished what you were born to do.

TLDR: Study the qualities that martial arts masters have. Because they are the people most at peace with death, which likely means they have accomplished what they were born to do. Then, acquire those qualities. Finally, teach others those qualiites.
