Speaking of our current education, perhaps from top to bottom, we all think that our education is a failure. It is difficult for our current education to cultivate truly qualified talents. Although students study hard and work hard, they can't become talents. Why? It lies in the current education, which lacks personality, morality, mind, aesthetics and nature, and pays too much attention to knowledge and skills, tool education and exam-oriented education. Therefore, it is difficult for educated people to have a sound personality as a whole, and there will be problems with their moral character. Many highly educated people have learned to go to jail. Why do people like Yao Jiaxin appear, college students? It is necessary to find the reason from our educational philosophy and system.
Q: My disciple is a kindergarten teacher. How to educate children about Buddhism so that parents who don't believe in Buddhism don't misunderstand it as instilling religious awareness in their children?
Master Da 'an answered: As a kindergarten teacher, out of compassion, we should first educate the children in the class in moral personality, sweep them away, handle them well, be filial and kind, and conform to their pure hearts. Educate him with kindness and love, and teach him to love his parents, teachers, classmates and people who suffer. Love all life, including flies and mosquitoes, cultivate children's kind nature, and then tell them some causal stories, and inject the concept of what goes around comes around.
Secondly, cultivate children's aesthetic taste. Appreciate quiet ancient music, recite Tang and Song poems, and guide children to read Confucian classics, such as Sanzi Jing, Analects of Confucius, University, and The Doctrine of the Mean. Let them read more good books like Nursing Students by Feng Zikai. These educations are not religious and can be accepted by any parents.
