Hello,

I'm hope that's the right category for my question.

I'm looking for sutta's were the budda is talking about the meaning of life.

Not mainly about practicing, reaching enlightenment and so on, more about why we are here. why we were born in this life, born as a human, born into this "good" conditions of having enough food, a shelter,....

I hope you understand, kind of, what I mean.

For example, I remember from a dhamma talk were they talked about a sutta, were someone asked the buddha what's the cause of all of this, where is the beginning and were is the ending. The buddha answered something like that this is useless to ask. he tried to explore that issue in many previous lifes and couldn't find an answer.
But I can't find the sutta anymore.

that's might sound a bit weird, but due to my lack of "sutta knowledge" I would be thankful for evey advice.

so, thanks in advance!

Suttas describing the twelve links of dependent origination describes why are we here. And there are plenty of such suttas.

The Passing Away & Re-appearance of Beings

"With his mind thus concentrated, purified, and bright, unblemished, free from defects, pliant, malleable, steady, and attained to imperturbability, he directs and inclines it to knowledge of the passing away and re-appearance of beings. He sees — by means of the divine eye, purified and surpassing the human — beings passing away and re-appearing, and he discerns how they are inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate in accordance with their kamma: 'These beings — who were endowed with bad conduct of body, speech, and mind, who reviled the noble ones, held wrong views and undertook actions under the influence of wrong views — with the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in the plane of deprivation, the bad destination, the lower realms, in hell. But these beings — who were endowed with good conduct of body, speech, and mind, who did not revile the noble ones, who held right views and undertook actions under the influence of right views — with the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in the good destinations, in the heavenly world.' Thus — by means of the divine eye, purified and surpassing the human — he sees beings passing away and re-appearing, and he discerns how they are inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate in accordance with their kamma. Just as if there were a tall building in the central square [of a town], and a man with good eyesight standing on top of it were to see people entering a house, leaving it, walking along the street, and sitting in the central square. The thought would occur to him, 'These people are entering a house, leaving it, walking along the streets, and sitting in the central square.' In the same way — with his mind thus concentrated, purified, and bright, unblemished, free from defects, pliant, malleable, steady, and attained to imperturbability — the monk directs and inclines it to knowledge of the passing away and re-appearance of beings. He sees — by means of the divine eye, purified and surpassing the human — beings passing away and re-appearing, and he discerns how they are inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate in accordance with their kamma...

"This, too, great king, is a fruit of the contemplative life, visible here and now, more excellent than the previous ones and more sublime.
