Description About the author
 
[...] In this world of existence, there are many different forms of birth. Among all of these, that which is most difficult to obtain, and that which is the most precious if put to proper use, is undoubtedly birth as a human being. Obtaining a human birth does not come about by sheer chance. It is the result and the reflection of a great deal of positive and wholesome actions in the past. With such a karmic accumulation, we experience birth as a human being.

The continuity of the existance of human beings depends on families as lay practitioners. In families in all cultures, there is the wish to leave something good and valuable behind for the next generation. Parents try to invest something for the future generation that they, in their own understanding, feel is valuable and meaningful.

But speaking frankly, if we invest in material things it is very questionable if these investments on behalf of children are beneficial or not. This is true even with the most sincere intention to benefit them. On the other hand, if we are able to have some vision of how to take responsibility, not only for the sanity of our personal lives, but, as true Buddhist practitioners with altruistic motivation, for benefiting others, then we can influence the sanity of future generations.
