The Meaning of Life --Master Zhenlin

The meaning of life is realized by cultivation, through which we find our True-self. It is not easy for us to be born in the secular world. Do not squander the time spent here. We come to the world to get back the foundations we have previously laid.



Let me draw an analogy. Someone went to the United States to do business. He struck it rich there, and returned with a good fortune.



For a long time, he did not remember that he had a big bank saving in the United States until one day he tought of such a bank account. However, he could not remember the password to the account.



He tried all he could to find the password out. When he did, he checked the account, and was surprised to find that he had such an amount of saving big enough to make him a billionaire.



As a cultivator, we practice the Dharma to get the password back and by the time we get access to the account, we shall find outselves a billionaire, too.



If we do not cultivate, we simply keep squandering the wealth we have, until one day we spend it all, without knowing we in fact could have another big amount of saving.
