Session Seventeen: The Precious Human Birth

George Raine

In this session, Drupla Sonam begins to discuss the “Ordinary” preliminary practices shared by all Buddhist schools, the Four Mind Changings. In the first session, Drupla talks about the rarity and profundity of obtaining the precious human birth, endowed with the Eight Freedoms and Ten Advantages. By reflecting on these benefits, we should arise at a strong determination to make the most of them by whole-heartedly committing ourselves to our Dharma practice.
