In this dharma talk given in March 2008, Kaigen Sensei explores the two main questions of human existence. That is, is this life merely the result of random chance, or is there a larger framework that might imbue our lives with the meaning we so desperately seek. In this talk he uses examples that vary from the actual lives of those he knows, modern physics, and the sayings of ancient Zen Masters to look into the mystery, and the miracle of our existence.
