Abstract:Buddhism thinks the existence of human-beings is a painful one, and their pains come from their worldly views, such as “egocentrism”. The worldly people suffer various pains just because of the attachment of “egocentrism”. As sentient beings cannot free themselves from these pains, accordingly they cannot reflect their values of life. Thus Buddhism believes that the value of life is to get liberation through continuous transcendence of pains. Then how can we transcend and free us from the pains? According to Buddhism, to get the prime liberation, first and foremost, is to know oneself, and based on this, to transcend oneself, break oneself, break the “egocentrism”, and eventually reach the supreme state of being, getting the ultimate liberation. Only through the final knowledge of the states of “selflessness” like the “selflessness of the person and phenomena”, can life enter into a state of clearing and can the sentient beings finally free themselves.
