Zen

Q. For my whole life, I have been searching for my ‘true destiny’ and trying hard to find what I’m meant to do in this life. How can I find out what this is?

A. I wonder how you have been searching for what you are trying so hard to find. To know the destiny of someone or something, it is a prerequisite to know the essence of him or it, I think. I’d like to invite you to start with a search for the essence of your being.

At the moment you seem to be looking for the destiny of what you don’t know. How could you expect to realise your destiny while not knowing what you are? When you realise the essence of your being, the answer to your question will show itself clearly to you.
