What is the purpose of life?

What is the purpose of life? 

The answer is that there is no such thing.

Life simply exists.

It is not about why or what, but how.

You are already living your life. 

Whether you make it happy or unhappy is your choice.

-Ven. Pomnyun Sunim

Wisdom For You

I don’t have a passion for anything in life, so my life isn’t fun. 
When you don’t add conditions to it, life isn’t all that complicated or difficult. 

— Ven. Pomnyun Sunim
