The true meaning of life

“We are visitors on this planet.
We are here for ninety
or one hundred years
at the very most.

During that period,
we must try to do something
good, something useful,
with our lives.

If you contribute to other
people’s happiness, you will
find the true goal,
the true meaning of life.”

H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama


У моего друга дома есть что-то вроде свитка, который висит на стене, с этим текстом.
