Why do Dharma teachings frequently mention having a human body?


"The recognition of pervasiveness of suffering depends upon one gaining a precious human body, with its freedoms and resources. 

And also, one must recognize the fragility and impermanence of that human body, that the human state is like a butter lamp that is running out of fuel."

His Holiness, 17th Gyalwang Karmapa
Ogyen Trinley Dorje
