Precious Human Birth

This week I have been using the first reminder,  precious human birth, in contemplative practice.  I was thinking about the sanity that has emerged in my life since I came in contact with the dharma.  A Bodhisattva makes a vow to be reborn until all sentient beings attain liberation, until the dharma reaches me and you and we choose to start the path.  These teachings have come to me on a great wave of love and compassion through the lineage.  The people of Tibet have been scattered across the globe and look at how openly they give us the heritage that they love so.  In light of this precious situation it is my aspiration to let go of my agression and let the dharma find a deeper place in my body, speech, and mind.
