On the Qualities of a Teacher and a Student: An Eastern Perspective Based on Buddhism, Vedanta And Sufism
| Title: | On the Qualities of a Teacher and a Student: An Eastern Perspective Based on Buddhism, Vedanta And Sufism | | Author: | Mehrdad Massoudi | | Publication: | Intercultural Education / Routledge, part of the Taylor & Francis Group | | Enumeration: | Vol. 13, No. 2, pp. 137 - 155 , June 2002 | | Abstract: | This essay looks at the requirements and qualities of a student and a teacher as seen from Eastern traditions such as Vedanta, Zen Buddhism and Sufism. The objective is to show or to propose that the same qualities are also needed in our present-day education system, no matter what the subject of study is. Though the emphasis is on these three particular systems, it is understood that one can find the same or similar qualities in other spiritual traditions. At the end of the essay, a heat transfer model is developed whereby the different aspects of an "ideal" teacher, sometimes also referred to as the real teacher, or the true teacher, can be obtained from such a model.
