The meaning of life – a Buddhist poem
Some people, I’ve heard
Are mighty confused
They are looking for something
They never did lose
What’s the meaning of life?
They cry and they shout
Not looking within
But seeking without
Some say that it’s god
In Heaven on high
Some say that there is none
You just live and die
That no god is scripting
The things that you’re doing
That he is not clapping
And never pooh-poohing
The meaning of life
Is simple and clear
It’s the life that you lead
And the things you hold dear
It’s the things that you do
And the things that you say
The thoughts that you have
That give meaning each day

Look within to find the truth through the establishment of peace and clarity. Do not expect God to save you for you must save yourself with your own efforts. The deeds, words and thoughts you have are very important. Once you have done the work of knowing yourself and establishing your mind in clarity and peace they are the key to a happy life. A life based on truth and not the lies of your own egotistical persopective. In fact there is no “meaning” to life because meaning implies an external relationship to things. Things are just what they are, they are their own meaning, without need for interpretation.
