Education is a process of mutual growth, so that ultimately there is neither student nor teacher. Someone may at one moment be the teacher, but at another moment will be the pupil. In this search, education is a growth in wisdom and compassion.
Education is the exercise of mutual respect grounded in the teachings of non-ego and emptiness.
Mutual respect is the acknowledgment of the innate integrity of all sentient beings. Education flourishes only when student and teacher alike accept each other as they are and respect each other for what they are. Education is reformation which advances only when change comes about in one's behavior and attitudes. True education is marked by those changes that increase one's practice of wisdom and compassion. Education is a long process.
