It is a pleasure to be a student - Poem - Ringu Tulku Rinpoche

I am a student.
I have been a student as long as I remember
And it is a pleasure to be a student.
It is a pleasure to learn that I dont know.
It is a pleasure to learn that I already know.
It is a pleasure to learn that I was mistaken.
It is a joy to learn from Great Masters.
It is a joy to learn by sharing what I learnt.
It is a joy to learn how to be what I am.
I seek to learn about the world around me.
I seek to learn about what I actually am.
I seek to learn how to be a proper human being.
Clouds show me the nature of my world.
ivers show me the nature of myself.
!abies show me how to be more human. I am a student.
I will be a student as long as I live.
And it is a pleasure to be a student.
