Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on Monday called for incorporating ancient Indian knowledge in school education to make them aware about their responsibilities towards self and world.
He was addressing 528 students of 70 different universities and colleges of India, US and Netherlands on the first day of teaching on Nagarjuna’s Commentary on Bodhichitta and Gyalsey Thokme Sangpo’s Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva.
Calling the lack of approach towards understanding human mind as the fundamental cause of disturbance arising in the world today, Dalai Lama reiterated the need for a reformed education system in schools.

“It is a matter of great urgency that we find ways to incorporate the ancient Indian knowledge of mind in schools’ education system. I look forward to the day when the younger generation will be more aware of their emotions, conscience and feel greater sense of responsibility towards themselves and the wider world,” he said, adding it is now down to the younger generation to make a better world than the one that has been bequeathed to them.
He advised them to develop faith and conviction in Buddha’s teaching through study, reflection and meditation. “Since we have the tradition of studying classic texts from past thousands of years, we need to pay more attention to it. We the Tibetans have kept the tradition of studying the major classic texts of Nalanda. The six-million Tibetan people have immense faith and devotion in Buddhism,” he said.
Dalai Lama said even today, when they are faced with such hardship inside Tibet, their spirit, strength and integrity remains strong as ever. Therefore we need to build upon this foundation with knowledge and reason.”
