No.287 - HUMAN REBIRTH


HUMAN REBIRTH

It is said that the human state is the most fruitful one for attaining enlightenment.
How do you live in such a manner as to be reborn a human being?

Practice dana, or generosity.
Practice sila, or morality.
And practice meditation.
Every day keep the mind as clean as possible and live just an ordinary, honest life, always keeping the mind as clear as possible.

Then, at the moment of death, you will remember your good children, good parents, good friends who are always good to you and you are good to them.
At the last moment of your mind, you desire to be one of those good human beings.
You desire to be one of those good friends in your next life.

From - What , Why , How by Bhante Gunaratna.
