| English | The very first of the ten advantages is to have taken birth as a human being. Consider the number of beings throughout samsara. To give some simple comparative numerical images, if the number of beings in the hell realms was like the number of particles of dust on the face of the earth, the number of pretas would be like the number of grains of sand in the Ganges; the number of animals like the number of millet grains in a barrel of chang41Tibetan beer made from fermented millet.; and the number of demi-gods like the number of snowflakes in a blizzard. But the number of both human and celestial beings would be like no more than the number of dust particles on a fingernail. And there are far fewer human beings than celestial beings-human beings are like the stars at daybreak. |
