Pastor Dear Friends:
1991 through 1992, the question put to them was: “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE, AND WHY ARE WE HERE?” Pulitzer Prize-winning essayist, poet and teacher, Annie Dillard responded thus: The Old Testament Book of Micah answers the question of
why we are here with another question: “What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your
God?” We are here to witness the creation and to abet it. We are here to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed. Together we notice
not only each mountain shadow and each stone on the beach but, especially, we notice the beautiful faces and complex natures of each
other. We are here to bring to consciousness the beauty and power that are around us and to praise the people who are here with us. We
witness our generation and our times. We watch the weather. Otherwise, creation would be playing to an empty house. According to the
second law of thermodynamics, things fall apart. Structures disintegrate. Buckminster Fuller hinted at a reason we are here: By creating
things, by thinking up new combinations, we counteract this flow of entropy. We make new structures, new wholeness, so the universe
comes out even. A shepherd on a hilltop who looks at a mess of stars and thinks, “There’s a hunter, a plow, a fish,” is making mental
connections that have as much real force in the universe as the very fires in those stars themselves. South African civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Anglican Archbishop of Cape town, Desmond Tutu responded thus: The
evolution of the world is a great manifestation of God. As scientists understand more and more about the interdependence not only of
living things but of rocks, rivers - the whole of the universe - I am left in awe that I, too, am a part of this tremendous miracle. Not only am I
a part of this pulsating network, but I am an indispensable part. It is not only theology that teaches me this, but it is the truth that environ-
mentalists shout from the rooftops. Every living creature is an essential part of the whole. All creatures have special attributes. Our particu-
lar attribute is the ability to reason. With reason we are enabled to react independently from our environment. What are we supposed to
do? Our surroundings are awesome. We see about us majestic mountains, the perfection of a tiny mouse, a newborn baby, a flower, the
colors of a seashell. Each creature is most fully that which it is created to be, an almost incredible reflection of the infinite, the invisible,
the indefinable. All women and men participate in that reflected glory. We believe that we are in fact the image of our Creator. Our
response must be to live up to that amazing potential - to give God glory by reflecting God’s beauty and love. That is why we are here and
that is the purpose of our lives. In that response we enter most fully into relationships with God, our fellow men and women, and we are in
harmony with all creation. Nobel Peace Prize winner and exiled spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, The Dalai Lama responded thus: While we exist as human
beings, we are like tourists on holiday. If we play havoc and cause disturbance, our visit is meaningless. If during our short stay - 100 years
at most - we live peacefully, help others and, at the very least, refrain from harming or upsetting them, our visit is worthwhile. What is
important is to see how we can best lead a meaningful everyday life, how we can bring about peace and harmony in our minds, how we can
help contribute to society. Scientists speak about evolutionary changes and about how the human body can further evolve. Buddhism also
describes the natural evolution of the human body. According to Buddhism there are a limitless number of universes. It is we who are
dependent on this Great Triple Thousand World System, rather than our affecting its course. In this vastness, can we ever know why we are
here? From the Buddhist point of view, our consciousness has the potential to know every object. Because of obstructions we are, at
present, unable to know everything. However, by removing these obstructions gradually, it is ultimately possible to know everything. Those
who believe in the theory of rebirth would say that we are here because of our own past actions. It can also be said that the essence of life
is the search for happiness and the fulfillment of one’s desires. All living beings strive to sustain their lives so that they might achieve
happiness. As to why the self, wishing for happiness, came into being, Buddhism answers: This self has existed from beginningless time. It
has no end but for it to ultimately achieve full enlightenment. Deputy Chief of a Buddhist ossuary in Kyoto, Japan, where the ashes of 18,000 dead are preserved, Ayano Otani responded thus: As a
banker’s daughter, I found that religion meant little to me until I married a Buddhist priest. Even then, through the first 10 years of married
life, I found myself too busy being wife and mother to devote much time to the teachings of the Buddha. Then, 10 years ago, quite sudden-
ly, something happened. A moment of truth. It hit me like a lightning bolt. I was on a visit to a small Buddhist temple. After a sleepless
night, I found myself overwhelmed with a revelation so powerful that I felt electrified. I had realized, at precisely three a.m. in the dead of a
February night, that the surest eventuality in life is death. I understood that no matter what your station - carpenter, lawyer, government
official - you always have to do your best in whatever work comes your way. Only then can you express your gratitude for having been
endowed with life. Only then can you rest assured of reaching paradise after death.
Pause. Ponder. Reflect. Consider.
