The Meaning of life by Dalai Lama Audiobook
Published on Oct 20, 2014
In The Meaning of Life the Dalai
Lama presents the basic worldview of Buddhism while answering some of
life's most profound and challenging questions: Why are we in this
situation? Where are we going? How should we live our lives? Do our
lives have any meaning? Basing his explanation on the twelve links of
dependent-arising as depicted in the Buddhist image of the Wheel of
Life, His Holiness vividly describes how human beings become trapped in a
counterproductive prison of selfishness and suffering, and shows how to
reverse the process, changing the limiting prison into a source of help
and happiness for others. Suffused with the Dalai Lama's intelligence,
wit, and kindness, these teachings address such issues as how to deal
with aggression from within and without; how to reconcile personal
responsibility with the doctrine of selflessness; how to face a terminal
illness; how to help someone who is dying; how to reconcile love for
family with love for all beings; and how to integrate this practice into
everyday life.
