Recently, in order to reform education more thoroughly while reviving our long-forgotten integrity, the Master exhausted his efforts and bravely established the system of volunteer teaching at the schools at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. The Master described this ideal: "Every teacher should set an example with his own conduct. The teachers should be honest and self-respect-ing, and pass their wisdom and aspirations on to the next generation. They should not fight for salary raises or go on strike." This way they can teach with full concentration and effort. Only teachers who do not seek for money and fame can influence students with their lofty aspirations and broad ideals, and thus succeed in rectifying people's lives and developing long-lasting peace. |
