meaning of life

To live a practical life is to cherish our life in the here and now, treasuring the time and environment we have and using them wisely, such as reciting the Buddha's name, doing good deeds, spreading the Buddhadharma, taking part in volunteer work, engaging in social service, and showing concern for people in general. While it is important to work when it's time to work, we should also rest when it's time to rest and relax when it's time to relax.
