A Precious Human Life

Every day

think as you wake up

Today I am fortunate

to have woken up

I am alive,

I have a precious human life.

I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use

all my energies to develope myself,

to expand my heart out to others,

to achieve enlightenment for

the benefit of all beings.

I am going to have

kind thoughts towards others.

I am not going to get angry,

or think badly about others.

I am going to benefit others

as much as I can.

- His Holiness

the XIVth Dalai Lama
