No Time to Waste
This
precious human body, supreme instrument though it is for the attainment
of enlightenment, is itself a transient phenomenon. No one knows when,
or how, death will come. Bubbles form on the surface of the water, but
the next instant they are gone, they do not stay. It is just the same
with this precious human body we have managed to find. We take all the
time in the world before engaging in the practice, but who knows when
this life of ours will simply cease to be?
