The Wheel of Life: The Human Realm
The Hope of Liberation

From Barbara O'Brien, About.com

Liberation from the Wheel is possible only from the Human Realm.

The human realm of the Wheel of Life

The Human Realm is marked by questioning and curiosity. It is also a realm of passion; human beings (Manushyas) want to strive, consume, acquire, enjoy, explore. Here the Dharma is openly available, yet only a few seek it. The rest become caught up in striving, consuming and acquiring, and miss the opportunity.
