The Precious Human Life
Not all human lives are precious rebirths
• Must be able to encounter the Dhamma.
• Must have an interest in the Dhamma.
• Must have the physical health and mental capacity to learn and practice the Dhamma.
Very few people on earth have a precious human life. Don’t waste it!
