Bhikkhu Bodhi: What makes a life truly worthwhile?

Ven. Bodhi discusses Dhammapada Verses 110-115, which address the purpose of life from a Buddhist perspective. The verses mention moral restraint, meditation (mental cultivation), unification and coherence of mind (samadhi), insight, and wisdom. They compare a life of 100 years without these to the superiority of a life of one day with them. MP3 download of this talk available at: abhayagiri.org/talks/6887-what-makes-a-life-truly-worthwhile.
