Does anyone here think meditation is their passion? Also, enlightenment their ultimate purpose of existence? Do share what made you come to this realisation?

Thank you for your kind words. I will continue practicing Dharma quietly and try to be more mindful and compassionate in my life.
I really want to travel and live in a Buddhist country to practice peace with my Buddhist brothers.
No I naturally don't do this, and there are not only animals but thousands of devas who are born in deva realm by very very high level merits, high level samadhi. All life precious but human life Is rare, maximum of life people stay either hell realms, where enlightenment is very hard to achieve.
This free and well-favoured human form is difficult to obtain.
Now that we have the chance to realise the full human potential,
If we don’t make good use of this opportunity,
How could we possibly expect to have such a chance again?
Like a flash of lightning on a dark and cloudy night,
Which, for just a single instant, sheds its brilliant light,
Rarely, through the buddhas’ power,
A mind of virtue arises, briefly, to people of the world. --bodhicaryāvatāra Chapter 1
Yes, that's what I am saying. This is the only reason Buddha said that human life is more precious

Something you are driven to pursue or want to dedicate your life to.

Ok but don't you think it gives purpose to you. As you might be looking forward to doing it more and improving in it.

I’m certainly enthusiastic but I wouldn’t call it my passion. I personally don’t see there are any purpose to anything that can be called the existence or experience.

Puifying Elements into Luminous Lights
Good practitioners can purify their gross internal and external earth elements. When they do this, the internal earth elements of the gross nerve channels and veins become lighter and lighter, purer and purer, and as they become insubstantial, indestructible, and luminous, the distinction between the conceptions of external and internal earth elements diminishes until they have become purified into the same substanceless light essence.
Padmasambhava attained this state. Because it has an indestructible vajra nature and cannot be penetrated by any circumstances, according to the Vajrayana system, this is called Vajra Wisdom Body.
Good practitioners can purify their gross internal and external air elements. When they do this, the internal air elements become lighter and lighter, purer and purer, and as they become unobstructed and clear, the distinction between the conceptions of eternal and internal air elements diminishes until they have become purified into the same enchanting sound.
Some great saints in ancient times attained this state. The pure clarity of their sound was not impaired by the cracks and scratching of gross elements’ vibrations and nothing could obstruct its tone, which pervades everywhere. This is called Vajra Wisdom Song.
Good practitioners can diminish the dualism of their inner subject substance mind and outer object substance phenomena. When they do this, the subtle elements become more and more vast, more and more limitless, and as they become boundless and profound, the distinction between the dualistic conception of outer and inner space elements diminishes until they have become purified into the same infinite expanse.
Then everything is without beginning and without end. This is Samantabhadra, whose wisdom heart is the source of measureless and limitless knowledge, unconquered and undeceived by the illusion of dualism. This is called Vajra Wisdom Heart.

I'll keep you in mind when reciting the nembutsu.

My friend, I hear you.
You're telling me your heart is leaning toward the Dhamma, but you're keeping it quiet. And honestly? That's okay. The Dhamma doesn't ask you to announce it to the world. It doesn't ask you to cut ties with your family or your community just to prove you're serious.
Remember what I said in the Kalama Sutta. Don't just believe things because they're traditional, or because they're written in old books, or because some teacher told you so. Test them. See for yourself what actually brings peace to your heart. If you found that in the Dhamma, that's real. That's good. And if you have to keep it to yourself right now, because you're scared, or because you don't want to hurt the people you love, that doesn't make your practice fake.
You can be a Buddhist in secret and still be a Buddhist. Your silence isn't lying if it comes from compassion, not from fear. I never said my followers have to wear robes or shout their beliefs on the street. I just taught people how to calm their minds. That's it.
But be honest with yourself. Has your fear turned into something you're clinging to? Are you getting attached to the idea of being a "secret Buddhist"? If you're staying quiet to avoid trouble, that's smart. But if you're hiding because you're afraid of losing your status, your money, or your comfort, that's just delusion, and it'll weigh you down.
Practice metta, loving-kindness, toward the people who don't understand you. Watch what you say. Right speech means saying things that are true, useful, and said at the right time. Even your silence can be a kind of speech.
Here's what really matters. You don't have to call yourself a Buddhist at all. You just have to stay mindful. Call yourself an Arab, a Muslim, a seeker, or nothing at all. It doesn't change anything. If your mind is clear, if there's no hatred or greed in it, you're walking my path. Whether anyone knows it or not.
Don't be afraid of who you are. But also don't push yourself to be open before you're ready. Everything happens in its own time. The Dhamma is patient, like the earth itself.

"You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather."
- Pema Chödrön, Buddhist nun, author, and teacher
Sangey, I think you're interpreting something that wasn't intended. Sumita didn't say human life is more precious than animals or devas. He said it's rare and precious as a chance for practice. The Buddha never taught a hierarchy of value—he taught that human birth is special because it offers the best conditions to end suffering. That's all. No comparison, no superiority. Just a call to use this rare opportunity wisely.

I didn't say you used that word. When you point out one particular life is very precious, one naturally interprets that as other lives are not equally precious.

There's no Buddhism without accepting consciousness, after life, hell, begining less life after life, and without accepting endless life after life
