措尼仁波切:關於心和愛的教育
我不認為當今在學校裡會教導愛、慈悲及忍讓。所有的宗教都提到這一點,這也是人類的本性,我們都有的。我們必須改變部分的教育體系,必須帶入更多關於心的教育和關於愛的教育。
我認為我們必須在教育中帶入一種新的教導,以改變對實相的感知。
我們會教導孩子科學、數學、藝術和歷史。但是若能花個半小時讓所有人閉上眼睛,看見自己在憤怒時的感受、心情和念頭─憤怒怎麼發生且如何釋放,會是件好事。就只要給你的心,或說是情感心,多一些時間。如果能有多一點愛,很好。如果能有健康的愛,更棒。如果你具有慈悲,對自己和別人都會更好。如果你具有洞見,當內心發生衝突的時候知道如何放下、如何解決問題,這也是件好事。這是非常重要的教育。如果美國人能做到這點,就可省下大筆經費,而這些健康的人就能幫助他們的國家和整個世界。
Tsoknyi Rinpoche: Educating the Heart
“I don’t think right now in school they’re teaching about love, compassion, and tolerance. All religions talk about that. And that is human nature – we have that. We have to change some of the education system. We have to bring some more heart teaching, loving teaching.
“I think we have to bring a new teaching into education to change the perception of reality.”
We have science, we have mathematics, art, history. But it’s good to take thirty minutes, everyone close their eyes and see feelings, mood, thoughts, when you’re angry – how it happened, how to release. Just to
give some time to your mind, what you can call your heart. If you have more love, it’s better. If you have healthy love, even better. If you have compassion, it’s better for you, better for others. If you have insight that when your conflict comes inside of you, you know how to let it go, how to solve your problem – that’s also a good thing. This is very important eduction. If Americans can do that, they’ll save a lot of money. And those healthy people can help the country and help the rest of the world.”
