Everyone has the same life purpose, which is the quest of happiness for oneself and for others.

I am daily making myself what I am.

When all is lost, when all is let go of, when all is abandoned, what you are left with is an ocean of bliss.

The better teachers recognize that by freeing yourself of the rigid ego identity habit, you actually strengthen the resilient, flexible, creative ego, and you then can be more effective in helping others, and creative in whatever work you do.

Everyone has the same life purpose, which is the quest of happiness for oneself and for others.

Therefore, what you do as a spiritual practitioner in this life shapes that. To seek and find this beautiful, continuing existence, where there can be more progress towards Buddha-hood, toward love, and wisdom, and helping all being etc. So that's the great value of it.

A possession can't make you happy.
