2009-12-05 Why Do We Have To Be Human? 17:46
Ayya Medhanandi
Meditation is a renewable resource. “Why do we have to be human? O not because happiness exists – but because being in this Dharma realm means so much.” Our spiritual work reveals how we must hold the mind – as refuge, safety, and protection from harm. This is the basis for true happiness. We pay attention to what is impermanent and thereby discover deeper treasure, knowing Reality, the truest renewable resource. With the ego disabled from consciousness, we transcend beyond the bonds and blindness of our human existence.
