Download The Meaning of Life: Buddhist Perspectives on Cause and Effect AudioBook Free
The Dalai Lama presents the essential worldview of Buddhism while offering answers for some of life’s most profound and challenging questions: Why are we in this situation? Where are we going? Do our lives have any meaning? How should we live our lives?
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 approach 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 everyone beings; and the way to integrate this practice into everyday activities.
