At this time you have received a precious human life qualified with eight freedoms and ten fortunes, a precious human body that is like a dream. Receiving a precious human body is rare; it happens just once.

This perfect human rebirth is highly meaningful. With it you can achieve the happiness of this life and whatever else you wish for. If you wish to again attain a human rebirth, you can. In addition, if you wish to have a body endowed with the eight favorable qualities, you can create its causes during your present precious human life.
