"You have not obtained this precious human life just by chance. It is the result of having heard the Buddha's name in a past life, having taking refuge in him, accumulated virtuous actions and developed some wisdom. There is no certainty that you will obtain this vessel again. If you fail to practice the Dharma in this life, it is certain that you will not obtain a human life. To neglect such an opportunity would therefore be very foolish. Do not waste it. Practice every day."

- Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche -
