Traditional Stories about Life, Death, Karma and Refuge

We need to meditate on and become convinced of the preciousness of this human body, the difficulty of attaining it, and the need to use it for great purposes and accomplishments. We are able to achieve enlightenment in the most efficient and easy way only with a precious human body. You can prevent a worse rebirth, unhappiness and suffering when death actually does happen to you if you follow Buddhism’s three methods: avoiding the ten destructive actions in order to prevent being reborn in a worse state, following the three exceptional higher trainings in order to get out of all uncontrollably recurring rebirth and working to achieve enlightenment to be able to benefit everyone.
