Quoting Dalai Lama on Modern Education

I'm not a big fan of Dalai Lama or his teachings. The idea of absolute peace and harmony is dysfunctional. The world simply does not work that way. Well, that's a whole discussion - one not very attractive to me right now. But here is a pretty accurate quote from him on modern education - I could not have agreed more, at least on the first part:

Modern education is premised strongly on materialistic values. It is vital that when educating our children's brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature.
