View source for Three types of human existence

Generally speaking, there are '''three types of human existence''' (Tib. མི་ལུས་གསུམ་ , [[Wyl.]] ''mi lus gsum''): 
#merely human (Tib. མི་ལུས་ཙམ་པོ་པ་ , Wyl. ''mi lus tsam po pa''), as described in the ''[[Yönten Dzö|The Treasury of Precious Qualities]]'', where “human beings are unaware of the defects of [[samsara]], are without regret for their condition and actually crave the transient and futile pleasures of the [[three higher realms|higher realms]]. Totally unaware that they should engage in [[virtue]] and refrain from evil, they pass their lives sunk in [[negative actions|negativity]]”<ref>[[Kangyur Rinpoche]]’s commentary on the ''[[Treasury of Precious Qualities]]''</ref>;  
#special human existence (Tib. མི་ལུས་ཁྱད་པར་ཅན་ , Wyl. ''mi lus khyad par can''), i.e., in which actions and attitudes oscillate between virtue and negativity; and 
#precious human existence (Tib. མི་ལུས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་ , Wyl. ''mi lus rin po che'').<ref>[[Khenpo Yönga|Yönten Gyamtso]]: Vol. 1 of the Great Commentary on the ''[[Yönten Dzö|Treasury of Precious Qualities]]'' </ref>
