QUOTATIONS ON EDUCATION

From the Ven. Master Hua’s Lectures
Translated and edited by the International Translation Institute

The trends in education must be changed. With this purpose, we are working on education.

※   ※   ※

In organizing schools, not only do I want to carry on the wisdom of the Buddha, I also want to carry on the wisdom of living beings. If we do a good job at school, then after the students graduate, they will know how to face society, and they will be able to influence society to change.

※   ※   ※

In our schools, we should recruit talented students. Who are the talented students? They are those who have intelligence and wisdom. Does that mean we should ignore the dull students? No, we cannot overlook them either. We must also think of ways to activate their inherent wisdom. This is one of the goals of our schools.

※   ※   ※

People should study not to seek fame and profit, but because they wish to benefit humankind and bring peace to the world.

※   ※   ※

When we do work in education, we do not wish to condemn other schools in order to establish our own schools. We are not fighting against others or trying to compete with them. Rather, with the purpose of education in mind, we wish to teach the next generation. Regardless of whether other people do things right or not, as long as we ourselves carry on our work properly, without going against our consciences, that is enough.
