I often discuss the meaning and essence of education with my parents. After reading these two articles, I was deeply touched. I share them with my parents and students, and wish you all the best. -Tommy 1. The essence of education is to promote the all-round development of human personality. The essence of education is to promote the all-round development of human personality and make people become real people. Educated people should not only get the perfect development of personality, but also lay an ideological foundation for optimistically and actively challenging the course of life. Education is the process of making people become people, and it is the growth process of fresh life. Educated people, as the main body of this process, deserve attention and awe. The real significance of personalized education lies in the return of educational core values and the release of students' individuality. The meaning of education should be to help us live a free and fearless life. Obviously, the significance of education lies in eliminating the external and internal fears that destroy human thoughts, relationships and love. -The purest soul of the 20th century, the voice that made the whole world stop to listen. -Krishnamurti, a wonderful flower of Indian civilization and the most outstanding spiritual teacher in the 20th century, I wonder how many people have asked themselves, what kind of education do we need? Why should we go to school? Why study all kinds of subjects? Why do you have to take an exam and compare your scores with your classmates? What is the meaning of education? What does it include? This is indeed a very important issue. We not only question this question for students, but also explore it with parents, teachers and all those who love the earth. Why should we educate through competition? Is education just to pass several exams and find a job? Or lay the foundation for us when we are young, so as to understand the whole process of life? It is necessary to find a job to make a living, but is that all? Is this the purpose of our education? Obviously, life is more than just a job and a career. Life is extremely profound. This is a big mystery. In this vast field, we are even more fortunate to be human. If we live only to make a living, we lose all the focus of life. To understand life itself is much more important than just preparing for exams and mastering mathematics, physics or other subjects. Therefore, whether we are teachers or students, we should ask ourselves why we should educate others and why we should be educated by others. What is life? Isn't life strange? Birds, flowers, green trees, blue sky, stars, rivers and fish are all life. Life is rich and poor; Life is an endless battle between groups, races and countries; Life is meditation; Life is the so-called religion; At the same time, it is also a subtle and hidden thing in the mind, including envy, ambition, passion, fear, achievement and anxiety. All these and more are life, but we are usually only prepared to understand a small corner of life. We passed some exams, got a job, got married and had children, but suddenly we found ourselves living more and more like a machine. I still feel very scared and anxious about life. Imagine: isn't the purpose of education to understand the whole process of life? Or is education just to lay the foundation for us to find a job or the best job? What will happen when we grow up? Have you ever asked yourself what you want to be when you grow up? Most likely, you will get married. Before you know your position, you may already be a father or a mother. However, you will be tied to a job or tied to the kitchen, and you may feel that you are dying in it. Is this your whole life? Have you ever asked yourself? Should you ask yourself? If you have a rich family, or have decided to have a good job in the future, because your father may provide you with a comfortable job, or you may get a lot of wealth in your marriage, but you will still be corroded and dried up by these substances. Did you see this? Education is meaningless unless it can help you understand all the subtle aspects of life-its amazing beauty, its sadness and joy. You may get a degree, a series of titles, a very good job, and then what? If your mind becomes dull, tired and stupid in the process of these activities, what is the purpose of life? So when you are young, shouldn't you find out what life is all about? The real meaning of education is to cultivate your wisdom and find the answers to all questions through it. What is wisdom? It is an infinite tolerance that allows you to think freely, without fear or formula, and then you can find out what is true and correct. But if you have fear, you will never have wisdom. When you are young, it is very important to live in an environment without fear. Most people are afraid of life, losing their jobs, traditions, neighbors, criticism from their husbands or wives, and death. Most people have different forms of fear; Once you have fear, you lose wisdom. If we have no fear when we are young, we will live in a fearless atmosphere, not only to do what we love, but also to understand the whole process of life. Life is beautiful, when education allows you to discover and appreciate its richness, profundity and loveliness. This is the real education. It is easy to obey the teaching of society, parents and teachers. It is a safe and relaxed way of life, but it is not life, because there is fear, corruption and death in it. To live is to explore the truth, which can only be achieved in freedom or when there is endless innovation in the heart. But no one has ever encouraged you to do so. Nobody told you to ask questions and explore what God really is. If you start to resist, you will oppose all mistakes. Your parents and society want you to live safely, and you want to live safely yourself. A safe life usually means imitation, so it means living in fear. The meaning of education should be to help us live fearlessly and create a fearless atmosphere. You and your teacher need to do a lot of thinking together. In modern society, many people are trying to reach a safe position, a position of power or enjoyment. These people are divided by conflicting beliefs, class consciousness, different nationalism, and various forms of stupidity and cruelty. This is the world you have to learn to adapt to. Encourage you to adapt to this tragic society. Your parents want you to do this, and so do you. However, is the meaning of education just to help you adapt to this corrupt social atmosphere and social system? Or should I give you freedom, complete freedom, let you grow up and create a different social atmosphere and a new world? We must have this freedom, not in the future, but now, otherwise we will be completely deprived of our true selves. We must immediately create a free atmosphere in which you can live and explore what is truth and true self, and then you will become wise and capable of facing and understanding the world, not just obeying it. Because in your heart, you are constantly exploring and innovating. Only those who keep exploring and innovating will find out what truth is, but those who obey and follow the tradition can't do this. Only by constantly exploring, observing and learning can we find truth, God and love. If there is fear in your heart, you can't explore, observe, learn, or perceive deeply. Therefore, the significance of education is obviously to eliminate the external and internal fears that destroy human thoughts, relationships and love.
