Day 3 ~ Appreciating Our Precious Human Life
Jul 27, 2026
If we develop the wish to abandon samsara, we will look for a method to do this. Only Buddha teaches the method to permanently cease samsaric rebirth. To abandon samsara we must receive blessings, receive help from Sangha, and practice the Dharma of the three higher trainings. The three Jewels, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, are therefore the real wishfulfilling jewels.
The day begins with a morning meditation on the first Lamrim meditation that we learned about yesterday, the preciousness of our human life. Using the Festival teachings and Venerable Geshe-la's words to help us to contemplate the purpose of the meditation which is to encourage us to take the real meaning of our human lives
