Precious Human Life
"Every
day, think as you wake up, Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I
am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it,
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself.
To expand my heart out to others, To achieve enlightenment for the
benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards
others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I
am going to benefit others as much as I can.”
H. H. the Dalai Lama |

When I was in my early twenties, I went with a date
to a nightclub in New York. Appearing there were two talented young
musicians, Daryl Hall and John Oates. Although we would later know
them as Hall and Oates, at that time they were known but not that
well known, and their music had the fabulous impact of fresh
beginnings and new sounds.
Something happened to me that night. I had been to
many concerts before, but I had never experienced as I did then the
transcendent way a musician can bring an entire room into a single
heartbeat. I remember thinking, ‘They’re priests; that’s what they
really are. They’re priests.’ They weren’t taking me on a
magic-carpet ride to music. Music was the magic carpet on which they
were taking me somewhere else, that somewhere else the land and sky
inside ourselves. It’s the purpose of our lives to find that place
and stay in it.
After that, I grew more in love with music and live
performance but, most important, I became enthralled with the idea
that a human being could create a space, through music or anything
else, where peoples’ hearts are harmonized and lifted up. I knew
that was what music did, and literature and philosophy and all art.
What fascinated me was not just the role of art but the role of the
artist, not just philosophy but the role of the philosopher. What
gave a person the magician’s wand, that he or she could wield such
awesome power and transport whole groups of people to an enchanted
land?

Worth”
