Be Teachable

The sound coming from my teacher’s desk

Stiff and inflexible head

Softened by Dharma rain only

One dies not by oneself only

But with all beings together

One learns not by oneself

But by the authenticity of another learner

This learning goes on

Indefinitely

Have you graduated? Have I graduated?

I think not

Dropped out, or no, never entered in the first place

The mind of another

Returns you to your True Self

Pain is not a sign of failure

Good health is not success

Just open your earie eyes

And notice the globe encompassing you

Like a protective invisible shield

Or the inside of a chick’s egg

Still

being

sat on
