SUMMARY:This Precious Human Life
DESCRIPTION:From a Buddhist perspective\, we have hit the jackpot by being born human.  We have just enough suffering to make us long for a more stable happiness\, and just enough freedoms and endowments to allow us to pursue spiritual transformation.  By understanding the true rarity of our precious human life\, we can begin to make each day\, each hour worthwhile.  Every single moment of our precious human life has great meaning.   Join us for this teaching in which we learn to cease the day by understanding the immense good fortune we share as human beings. \nEvery day\, think as you wake up\, today I am fortunate to be alive\, I have a precious human life\, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself\, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others\, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”  Quote from H.H. The Dalai Lama\n \nThis teaching is part of a  series given by Khenpo Karten Rinpoche based on his booklet “Heartfelt Advice of Dharma Nectar.”  It follows the Saturday meditation session (which runs from 10-11) and is appropriate for anyone interested in practical ways to apply Dharma teachings to busy western life.  No registration required.   Suggested donation of $10.00\, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.  We hope you join us!
