What is a meaningful pursuit in Life
Buddhism teaches that all is impermanent and empty in nature.

When happiness disappears into the past, suffering follows right away.

The happier we felt, the more suffering we feel. Was that real happiness? No, it was rather the origin of suffering.
 
Thinking along this line, one realizes that there is no “perfection” that is without hidden issues and there is no “happiness” that can be captured for good.

Does this make life pessimistic? Not really.
 
Upon further reflection one realizes that the root cause of all sufferings is not the “loss”, but “attachment”.

With that, there is hope that we can eliminate suffering.

Of course, it will not be easy to let go of attachment.

One must recognize it first.

“Impermanence” is a universal rule that is independent of anyone’s wishes.

Having a right perspective on “impermanence” will allow us not to be attached to certain situations. 

Namely, not to be too attached to things we like, nor to resent things we don’t like.

 We ought to cherish what we have and take what life gives us.
 
Buddhism discusses suffering, emptiness and impermanence. 

This is not to teach us to be pessimistic, but teach us to let go of our attachment and be optimistic about pursuing a more meaningful life.

什么是有意的人生
追求佛法说世间的一切都是无常，是抓不住的。

昔日的快乐消失时，痛苦就降临了，

之前越快乐，失去时越痛苦，那个“快乐”是真的快乐吗？

此时它反而成了苦的根源。

这样去观照，发现并没有一个真正的“美满”是没有隐患的，

没有什么“快乐”是可以抓得住的。

这样想，人生好像很悲观，其实不然。

再进一步深入思维，找到让我们痛苦的元凶原来并不是“失去”，

而是“执著”，我们就有了离苦的希望。

当然，一下子放下执著并不容易，先认得它。
“无常”是一切世间万物的规律，

不以人的主观意志为转移。

如理思维“无常”，能让我们的心不粘著在境界上，

对于喜爱的事物不要太贪恋，

对于不喜欢的事物不要起嗔恨，

要用随缘、珍惜的心态面对生活。
佛教说苦空无常，不是要教人悲观厌世，

而是要让人放下莫须有的执著，

转而积极于更有意义的人生追求。
