We have received a precious human rebirth, which is extremely rare and with it we can achieve any happiness that we wish for ourselves. This is not just the happiness of this life — even mice and tiny insects are very clever in achieving the happiness of this life. Achieving the happiness of this life is nothing special. The special capacity that we have as human beings is achieving happiness beyond this life.
