• reviewing from stanza 85 of Lama Chopa and the preciousness of a human rebirth 
• importance of recognizing the preciousness of human life and the need to contemplate impermanence, which helps bring benefits: 
  • can help individuals face life’s challenges with courage and prevent anxiety 
  • prevent clinging to happiness and suffering, realizing both are temporary states 
  • motivates one to dedicate their life to meaningful pursuits 
  • prevents one from squandering a human rebirth with pursuits like hoarding wealth 

• human’s brain and intelligence in comparison to other (animal) realms is the reason for the preciousness of a human rebirth.
