A neat Padmasambhava quote

I read this passage last night, and it made me smile.

Though you are born as a human being, you are not beyond suffering. To begin with, before birth there is the suffering of being inside your mother's womb,where it is like being thrown into an abyss when your mother is lifting; like being squashed between cliffs when your mother is full of food; like fluttering in the wind when your mother is standing up; like being suppressed by a mountain when your mother is lying down; like being strangled when taking birth; like being thrown into a heap of thorns when laid down; and like a bird being carried off by a hawk when your mother takes you up again.

-Padmasambhava, quoted in "The Lotus Born, the Life Story of Padmasambhava"
