Buddhist Stories: The Buddha's Former Life As A King Named Moonlight, Part 5 of 6, Sep. 08, 2015

Human beings, since time immemorial, because of love and sensual attachment, always have to transmigrate in the life and death circle forever. Or come in and out of many different hells. How much suffering, how much pain, you could not even describe and remember. And to count all these bodies that have been wasted thus, has not helped anyone. And even when you are degraded into an animal’s body, and then other people kill you, chop you up and eat you, and then even all those bodies also wasted, without earning any merit at all. And now if just forsake this filthy head of a human, flesh and bones and all kinds in it, in exchange for the Dharma’ body, the forever-lasting body, then forever you’ll be happy and blissful.
