Education of the heart and education of the mind can free us from powerlessness, it allows security from our own mistrust that we direct at others. Education at its best is a process of liberation from prejudice which frees the human heart from its violent passions. Once we ourselves have learned to trust deeply into our intuition we will naturally start to believe in the latent capacities of others.
“A person with a vast heart is happy.
Such a person lives each day with a broad and embracing spirit.
A person with a strong will is happy.
Such a person can confidently enjoy life, never defeated by suffering.
A person with a profound spirit is happy.
Such a person can savor life's depths
while creating meaning and value that will last for eternity.
A person with a pure mind is happy.
Such a person is always surrounded by refreshing breezes of joy”
Daisaku Ikeda
