The Meaning of Life
by Social Psychologist, Kenneth Ring
the Dalai Lama

My view of the meaning of life has been shaped by a large band of unusual and inadvertent adventurers. For 10 years I have studied cases of persons who have survived episodes of near death or clinical death only to tell of wonders in the land beyond the edge of life.

One man speaks of being in a state of "total radiance from absolute knowledge" when he realized that "finally I was alive.” One woman says: "I was enabled to look deeply inside myself. I saw...that my core was perfect love—and that applies to all human beings." But it is not just that one experiences this truth; one becomes it. The meaning of life has something to do with realizing that our essence is perfect love, then going on to live our lives upon that truth, experiencing each day as a miracle and every act as sacred.
