The Meaning of Life: Buddhist Perspectives on Cause & Effect
Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho (dalai Lama Xiv)
InThe Meaning of Lifethe Dalai Lama takes up from a Buddhis perspective the existential questions—of meaning, purpose, and responsibility—that each of us struggle with. Using the traditional Buddhist allegorical image of the Wheel of Life and the teaching of the twelve links of dependent origination, he deftly illustrates how our existence, though fleeting and often full of woes, brims with the potential for peace and happiness. We can realize that potential by cultivating a wise appreciation of the interdependency of actions and experience, and by living a kind and compassionate life. A life thus lived, the Dalai Lama teaches, becomes thoroughly meaningful for both oneself and for others.
