a precious human life

[desmond dillon]

      

    ' Every day, think as you wake up,

today i am fortunate to have woken up,

i am 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.'

    

      the 14th Dalai Lama.
