Lama Khemsar – The Preciousness of Human Birth

The Preciousness of Human Birth

In Buddhism, realising the rarity and preciousness of one’s human birth is one of the four essential teachings in Lo-jong (Thought Transformation) that facilitate spiritual alchemy and make it possible to achieve Enlightenment or Buddhahood in this very life-time. Failing to recognise this and falling prey to the distractions of worldly illusions, such as the pursuit of power, wealth, fame etc, results in this precious gift being wasted and necessitates further re-births in the different realms of Samsara. This is your spiritual wake up call. Do you hear it? Is it calling you to become an Awakened One / Enlightened Being or are you still content to slumber on in the murky realms of illusion? The choice is yours!
