What Buddhists believe life is about?

Answer 1

The question "What is the meaning of life?" is usually taken to be equivalent to questions like:

• Why are we here?
• What is the purpose of our existence?
• Do we have a calling to make thing s better?

To all of these Buddhism generally responds "It does not matter, live your life to reduce the suffering discussed in the Four Noble Truths"

Achieving enlightenment is a singular process, no deity will help you. Neither can you do anything more than suggest improvements to others. The practices put foreward in the Eightfold Path are suggestions not commandments.

Answer 2

Simply put, Buddhists believe in care for nature. For a Buddhist, the number one "law", as it were, is to respect and care for all living things - This means no cutting down trees, killing bugs, hunting - and for this reason, most Buddhists are vegetarian.

Buddhists also have a bigger intention, and that is to achieve nirvana; to escape the continuous wheel of life, known to them as Samsara. Nirvana is achieved through good will (doing no harm to wildlife)

Answer 3

Buddhist believe that every thing including we humans are here to attain a perfection that makes us a conscious part of the universe as apposed to the ignorant and unknowing beings we are now. this is a very one sided and simplistic way to answer the question as Buddhism is really more of a philosophy or philosophical stand point then a belief.

Answer 4

A Buddhist lives through many lives.

The goal in each life is to improve one's understanding of proper behavior, control desire and ultimately enter a state of Nirvana. This is stated as escaping the cycle of rebirth and death.
