Precious human birth.

There are an incalculable number of sentient beings on this planet. Anything that moves and makes a decision is sentient..having a mind. Therefore has Buddha nature! Some of these beings are human. Most humans spend their lives building nests, gathering food, marking their territory and entertaining themselves. They do not realise that they are the only creatures that have a precious human birth capable of realising their true nature. These are ordinary human beings.

When we realise our spiritual nature, we realise how precious this human birth is. These are fortunate human beings. We can now appreciate that we have been a state of not knowing for so long, that every single sentient being in the entire universe has been our mother! Compassion now arises because we now know that they all have the potential of realising their Buddha nature (awakened nature). Now our view of everyone is different.

Don’t let the world make you forget this.
