A Precious Human Life

David Oromith · 29 minutes · recorded August 4, 2025

A contemplative meditation built on the Dalai Lama's reflection on waking gratefully to a precious human life. David talks about how rare and fleeting this human life is, one of the four thoughts that turn the mind in the Tibetan tradition, and why we keep postponing practice for a better moment when now is the only time we actually have.
