How can we bring more sense of significance into our lives? What meaning does life have in the face of suffering or death? Do we have a 'why' to live for? This work takes us from the challenge of finding meaning to a need to engage with the wider world, by drawing a parallel with the Buddha's own quest.
How can we bring more sense of significance into our lives? What meaning does life have in the face of suffering or death? Do we have a 'why' to live for? Sarvananda takes us from the challenge of finding meaning to a need to engage with the wider world, by drawing a parallel with the Buddha's own quest. Using references from the 20th Century, Sarvananda covers many of the ways in which we seek meaning, citing writers & thinkers such as Akira Kurosawa, Wordsworth and Woody Allen. In so doing he moves from individual understanding to the principles of Buddhist teaching & demonstrates in a calm, friendly way how to apply the teachings practically, before finally taking the reader to the deeper reality of clear vision. It is a concise, witty exploration of what truly matters.

Sarvananda was born and educated in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1987, after being ordained as a member of the Western Buddhist Order, he moved to Norwich, England, where over the last 20 years, he has taught classes in Buddhism and meditation. At present he earns a living by writing and has had six plays and a comedy series broadcast on British BBC radio. This is his first book.
