This book is a critical study of Buddhist philosophy of education and its adaptation in modern system of education in India, Tibet and Sri Lanka. It also shows the recent impact of the Buddhist Philosophy in western education. There is no doubt that Buddhism made tremendous contributions to the Philosophy of education. The notion of education entails many subsidiary notions, such as notions of ignorance and knowledge, and of teacher and student. Here we shall survey the tradition of Buddhist education both monastic and secular in India, Sri Lanka, and Tibet. We would also show how these forms changed under specific influences and in differing cultural contexts, including modern approaches of the west.
