Golden Age Education Transformation 

About this Program

The Golden Age Education Transformation initiative is dedicated to shifting our global perspective of education through a “Tantrayana” approach—not by abandoning modern subjects, but by transforming the purpose behind them.  We aim to create a global dialogue for change through collaborative discussions with principals, educators, school administrators, boards of education, policy makers and state and national government organizations to bridge the gap between current educational mandates and Rinpoche’s vision of a wisdom-based society.  By bridging ancient wisdom with modern action, this initiative ensures that every student realizes their ultimate potential as an interdependent part of a global whole.

At the heart of this transformation is the cultivation of six vital pillars:

• Universal Responsibility:  Realizing our deep interdependence and that we are each responsible for how the world functions.
• Courageousness:  The inner strength to act for the world, rooted in the knowledge that happiness is generated by the mind.
• Unbiased Mind:  Overcoming discrimination and narrow loyalties to work for the benefit of all humanity.
• Dedication:  Developing the certainty and devotion required to reach the final result of global harmony.
• Clarity: Cultivating a deep, personal wisdom and direct understanding that does not rely on the assertions of others.
• Unity:  Integrating all aspects of existence—such as the masculine and feminine—to achieve a perfect, balanced harmony.

Our Aspiration and Why This is Important

To bring this vision into the heart of society, we will facilitate investigation of what has already been envisioned and implemented globally and show how these six pillars can provide the missing essence needed to transform “instruction” into true “realization.”  This program will build a partnership to align our collective methods with the results we all seek: longevity, wellbeing, and ultimate peace.
