A Path of Spiritual Growth
Lesson 14: Precious Human Life
Embrace human life.
Understand its value.
— Gelek Rimpoche
A precious human life provides:
Freedom from
overwhelming obstacles
Capacity to learn and reflect
Access to spiritual teachings
Opportunity to
practice compassion
Leisure and opportunity
are very hard to find.
If I do not take advantage
of them now,
How will such a perfect opportunity
come about again?
— Shantideva
Therefore, since we are surrounded
by so great a cloud of
witnesses,
let us run with perseverance
the race
set before us.
— Hebrews
