Description
In this videoconference talk from 10 Sep, 2021, Ajahn Anan talks about the importance of using our incredibly rare gift of being born as a human being to continue building goodness.
"The ones who have died and are human-beings in this present life, where did they come from? We just don't know. Did they come from heaven? Come from the human realm? Come from the animal realm? We don't know. But whatever the case is, we are lucky that we have been born as a human. We got a good body already. So the important thing is that we have to continue building goodness. Because we don't know when we can be reborn as a human again. And the chance to listen to the Dhamma teachings of the Lord Buddha is incredibly difficult. For a fully enlightened Buddha to be born into the world, and to teach the Dhamma and proclaim the path, is incredibly difficult."
