How to Find Meaning in Our Lives
Does our life have meaning? This is a question that many of us, especially younger people, might be having these days, given the many existential challenges such as climate change and the threats of AI.
Victor Frankel wrote a very famous book, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” which discusses these questions, from his perspective as a Nazi concentration camp survivor. Neil Kolwey will build on Frankel’s discussion and explore how we can find meaning in our lives from a Buddhist perspective, highlighting themes of contentment, having a sense of purpose or mission, and feeling a connection with the universe or “big mind.”
BIO: Neil Kolwey has been practicing buddhism since 1978. He moved to Boulder in 1984 and has been a Nalandabodhi member since 2003.
