“So when we think about the future, how to build a healthy humanity, we really have to think about how we create a new generation of citizens with a different kind of mind-set. Here education is really the key. Christianity has wonderful teachings, so does Buddhism, but these teachings and approaches are not sufficient. Now secular education is universal. So now we must include in formal education of our youth some teaching of compassion and basic ethics, not on the basis of religious belief but on the basis of scientific findings and our common sense and our universal experience. ... to educate children about the value of compassion and the value of applying our mind.” MindChildrenHumanityEducationCompassionYouthCitizensHealthyFuture Book:The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World Source: The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World
