Couldn't resist when I saw this picture: The story is told in a Buddhist sutra of a lone blind turtle who dwells in the depths of a vast ocean, coming up for air only once every hundred years. On the surface of the same ocean floats a golden yoke. It is more common for the turtle to place its head through the yoke when it takes its centennial breath, than it is for a being imprisoned in saṃsāra (the cycle of rebirth) to be born as a human with the good fortune to encounter the teaching of the Buddha. Human birth in a Buddhist land is compared to a rare jewel, difficult to find and, if found, of great value, because it is in the human body is the path that leads to Nirvāṇa (awakening)

I've always wanted to know! But tbh the cover&spine design in this book gets top marks in my book
