Seeking buddhist education

Sue Erica Smith

pp. 19-34

The "core business" of Buddhism is education, and increasingly Buddhists are articulating their spirituality in terms of education. Centres, institutes, temples, pagodas, gompas, wats and viharas are all places for teaching and learning. Superficially perhaps they appear to be places of ritual, worship and veneration, but these serve deeper curricula aimed to develop wisdom, compassion, awareness and responsibility.
