In my journey to find "the purpose of life", I searched a lot until I found this. Now I search no more.
The purpose of life is to “live in agreement with nature"
Zeno, Greek Philosopher, 4th Century B.C
The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged....
Chief Luther Standing Bear - Oglala Sioux
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this.
Black Elk - Oglala Sioux
The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us....
Big Thunder (Bedagi) - Wabanaki Alonquin
Falun Gong
According to Li when one cultivates his/her xinxing (mind nature or character), he/she can assimilate to the supreme nature of the universe.

The purpose of life is to “live in agreement with nature"
Zeno, Greek Philosopher, 4th Century B.C
What is man without the beasts? If all
the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit,
for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man. All things
are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of
the earth.
