Why were we created (Buddhist perspective)?
I don't think a Buddhist would consider that he was created. (By the way I am not a Buddhist.)
He may think that he is a castle built on Lego bricks, or some forest based on woods.
And he may call the Lego factory or seed of woods a kind of emptiness or nothingness.
If so, it means they (Buddhists) are assuming a closed chamber, a sealed space. All detective should search for the murderer within its scope.
By the way, some scientists (if not all of them) are doing the same thing. Otherwise all their logic could be a void effort anytime since it may be undermined by some outer factor anywhere.
People love Sherlock Holmes, admiring his logical ability.
And It is reasonable that we don't like chaos. Without a stable environment such as a sealed room, as a better weapon than our arms and hands, our logic seems weak . It would be like a small boat on a raging ocean. Although this boat is so stable as the logic such as 1+1 always =2, How could we expect it can handle the chaos ocean?
But there is always a different voice.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: Belief in the causal nexus is superstition.
(It is possible that 1=1 is an illusion, 1+1 causes 2 is also an illusion which we believe it as a fact or truth, same as we do in other superstition.)
To me, it means that the creator (the author) could be a monkey who is typing randomly. We just happen to be living in a readable novel where logic appears working but not really, the actually working one is the monkey who creates all the illusion. And there are other unreadable books which could be infinite, including some novels where there are different logic from ours, which must appears ridiculous to us. If we happen to stumble into one of them, we probably would deny all the strange things we meet in order to defend our own logic.
Anyway it doesn't matter who is the author. (This is a everlasting ultimate question and secret not only hidden behind all the things we are sensing but also concealed by all the concepts we're imagining including Tao, God, emptiness。）Let it be, a monkey，some kind of chaos, nothingness, or some even more ridiculous thing, anyone is the same to us.(Unless we have to find and pay him for the copyright.)
People may think the creator (the author) is so important, that all the meanings depend on him. But if an author has no reader, especial a writer of detective novel, is his meaning complete? You can even ask: is there really any meaning for him, no matter how huge or how long living or how great in any way he is?
One day I asked my son who was a little boy, "Is the sky blue?".
"No, at night it is black." He is smart.
"If there is a superman whose eyes are able to and always see the infrared ray or ultraviolet light，to him is the sky blue or black?"
Without the eyes of a life, colors means nothing to the sky.
Why we're wondering the meaning of life, why we don't suspect the meaning of universe, and even the meaning of creator.
No matter how small we are, no matter how brief our lives are.
Laozi: sky/heaven and earth ( which represent the mother nature who create everything) has no mercy.
In order to complete the meaning of the author, the readers have to be ignorant.
A truth teller (an always right fortune teller) would be a spoiler who ruin everything.
The ignorance of the true nature of ourselves are the source of our stress, anxieties, sufferings, pains.
(refer to my another answer Min John Zhou's answer to What is causing Dhukka? )
Is it worthy? depend on how much beauty, joy, love (Sometimes just a simple blue sky can move you) you can find in your life.
If very little, you may deeply wonder why were you created.
机翻一下（略作修改）
我们为什么被创造（佛教的观点）？
我不认为一个佛教徒会认为他是被创造的。(顺便说一下，我不是一个佛教徒）。
他可能认为自己是一座建立在乐高积木上的城堡，或一些基于树木的森林。
而他可能把乐高工厂或树林的种子称为一种空虚或虚无。
如果是这样的话，这意味着他们（佛教徒）是在假设一个封闭的房间，一个密封的空间。所有侦探都应该在其范围内寻找凶手。
顺便说一下，一些科学家（如果不是全部）也在做同样的事情。否则，他们所有的逻辑可能随时都是无效的努力，因为它可能被任何地方的一些外部因素所破坏。
人们喜欢夏洛克-福尔摩斯，钦佩他的逻辑能力。
而我们不喜欢混乱是合理的。如果没有一个稳定的环境，如一个密封的房间，我们的逻辑（作为一个比我们的手臂和手更好的武器）似乎很弱。这就像在汹涌的大海上的一艘小船。虽然这艘船是如此的稳定，如1+1总是=2的逻辑，我们怎么能指望它能处理混乱的海洋呢？
但总有一种不同的声音。
路德维希-维特根斯坦：相信因果关系是迷信。
(有可能1=1是一种幻觉，1+1导致2也是一种幻觉，我们把它当作事实或真理来相信，就像我们对其他迷信一样)。
对我来说，这意味着创造者（作者）可能是一只随机打字的猴子。我们只是碰巧生活在一本可读的小说中，其中的逻辑似乎在起作用，但不是真的，真正起作用的是那只创造所有幻觉的猴子。还有其他不可读的书，可能是无限的，包括一些小说，其中有与我们不同的逻辑，这对我们来说一定很荒谬。如果我们碰巧进入其中，我们可能会否认我们遇到的所有奇怪的事情，以捍卫我们自己的逻辑。
总之，谁是作者并不重要。(这是一个永恒的终极问题和秘密，不仅隐藏在我们所感觉到的所有事物的背后，而且也被我们所想象的所有概念所掩盖，包括道、上帝、虚无。）无论它是一只猴子，某种混沌、虚无，还是一些更可笑的东西，任何人对我们都是一样的。
人们可能认为创造者（作者）是如此重要，所有的意义都取决于他。但是，如果一个作者没有读者，特别是侦探小说的作者，他的意义就完整吗？你甚至可以问：他真的有任何意义吗，不管他有多大，活得多长，或者在任何方面有多伟大？
有一天我问我的儿子，他还是个小男孩，"天空是蓝色的吗？"。
"不，在晚上是黑色的"。他很聪明。
"如果有一个超人，他的眼睛能够而且总是看到红外线或紫外线，对他来说，天空是蓝色还是黑色？"
没有生命的眼睛，颜色对天空来说毫无意义。
为什么我们要怀疑生命的意义，为什么我们不怀疑宇宙的意义，甚至怀疑创造者的意义。
无论我们多么渺小，无论我们的生命多么短暂。
老子：天/天和地（代表创造万物的母体）是没有怜悯的。
为了完成作者的意义，读者必须是无知的。
宣讲真相的人（永远正确的算命先生）将是一个破坏者，他破坏了一切。
对自己的真实本性的无知是我们的压力、焦虑、苦难、痛苦的来源。
(参考我的另一个答案 Min John Zhou's answer to What is causing Dhukka? )
值得吗？取决于你能在你的生活中找到多少美丽、快乐、爱（有时只是一个简单的蓝天就能打动你）。
如果非常少，你可能会深深地想，为什么要创造你。
