Uphold Dalai Lama’s values: Tibetan min
Education Minister Kalon, Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), yesterday urged all Tibetan students to uphold the values of the Dalai Lama and pursue education with diligence.
In her message on the occasion Children's Day, the minister stressed the importance of preserving the Tibetan language. He implored students to make the most of the unique opportunity to study and use Tibetan throughout their school years, a privilege denied to children in Tibet. She emphasised that the mastery of the language was essential not only for their individual growth but also for the preservation of the Tibetan culture.
The minister encouraged students to approach their education holistically, through the three-fold process of learning, contemplation and meditation. "This method ensures that knowledge is not only acquired but also deeply understood and retained," she added.
The minister called for greater compassion towards students with special needs, emphasising the importance of kindness and inclusiveness. By treating others with empathy, students not only fostered a supportive environment but also developed personal qualities of compassion, aligning with the broader goals of education and the teachings of the Dalai Lama, she added.
