Precious Human Existence

[edit]

Hi Sethie I noticed you changed "Precious Human Opportunity" to "precious opportunity of a human birth". Your wording can be problematic because it might lead one to think that just being born a human is a precious opportunity. The precious human opportunity comes with specific conditions, more than just being born human. I went ahead and changed it to "Precious Human Existence" which was chosen for the 2017 book. Perhaps this is better? Let me know your thoughts... Also, it really would be nice to dig into the text a bit more to give a summary of each chapter. Something I've been wanting to do for a while now... All best, Badabara (talk) 03:05, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Badabara

Thanks so much for your feedback... I concur that it is more then being born a human- I like your solution.

Yes- I was feeling the same about sumarries for each chapter! Let's do it!

Let's do it! Ok first question... what is the proper way to cite sources when summarizing or creating an outline for each of the 6 sections? Question is because the source is the book itself. I don't want to do a bunch of work and then find it getting deleted for primary research. I tried to look up other great books as examples, Sutras etc... and not finding what I'm looking for.
