Do you need meaning to enjoy it?
There is no past. There is no future. There is only the eternal now. Memories of the past are happening NOW. The future is purely mythological.
Relax your mind and just enjoy all the sensations of the present moment, because that's all there is!
A student once asked his teacher, "Master, what is enlightenment?"
The master replied, "When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep."

Why do people keep asking this question when you know exactly well that you won't get the answer that you've always wanted?
Life is an abstract thing with millions and billions of interpretations because everyone's life is different from each other.
Why even bother to ask? Live your own life to the fullest.

to experience.....
to understand who we are as a people..... not as an individual.
to help those who need help, as people have helped us:
an example of this is how my uncle helped me cope w/ family issues as i will help others with family issues.
to improve society, and how people interact with people.
to find love and peace and at the same time forgive those who we have hated, or have wronged us.
these are just a few meanings that i have come up with over the years, but i've found that if you have one, another one seems to pop up. But these are the top 5 for me, in order from most important to less.

If by meaning you mean purpose. To give more than you get.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!
