Do religions hold the key to the meaning of life?

A buddhist meaning of life? The Buddhist sūtras and tantras do not speak about "the meaning of life" but about the potential of human life to end suffering through detaching oneself from cravings and conceptual attachments. Suffering can be overcome through human activity, simply by removing the cause of suffering. In contrast, a muslim is likely to see a human's ultimate life objective as serving Allah by abiding by the divine guidelines revealed in the Qur'an and the Tradition of the Prophet. Earthly life is merely a test, determining one's afterlife, either in paradise or hell. A christian is likely to say the meaning of life is to seek divine salvation through the grace of God and intercession of Christ. In the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the first question is: What is the chief end of Man? The answer is: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever.
