It is a pleasure to be a student
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 don't 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 how to be a proper human being.
Clouds show me the nature of my world.
Rivers show me the nature of my myself.
Babies 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.
Poem by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche

This one hour documentary uses a verite approach, creating intimate and personal accounts of their lives, without presenting an anthropological perspective. Set against th… Continue

Om Mani Padme Hum
H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama's definition on Om Mani Padme Hum
"It is very good to recite the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast.
The first, Om symbolizes the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. "The path is indicated by the next four syllables.
Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes t… Continue
