Short Link to this Quote:
The Dalai Lama is suggesting that in today’s world, where financial gain is prioritized over developing good character and spiritual well-being, education systems need to be reformed. He argues that to counter society’s excessive focus on wealth accumulation, schools should incorporate secular (non-religious) ethics and values like compassion, honesty and social responsibility into the curriculum.
The Dalai Lama believes cultivating strong inner principles is as important as teaching academic or job-related skills. His view is that for people to live well and societies to function optimally, education must aim not just to prepare students for high-paying careers, but also to enlighten their minds and strengthen their principles.
In the modern world, where the pursuit of money is considered more important than the cultivation of inner values a fresh approach is required to incorporate secular ethics or universal values into the system of education.
