Dear Steve, Nina, and Jim,
Thank you all for your comments on my earlier
translation of this sentence. "Existence" makes more
sense to me now than "good fortune", especially in
light of how "bhava" is commonly used in the suttas.
manussaa bhava.m icchanti
humans / existence / wish for
Humans wish for existence
With gratitude,
John
