Rinpoche advised the purpose of education and academic knowledge at Maitreya School, a social welfare project of Root Institute, Bodhgaya, India.

Some people have a very good education. They attend kindergarten, primary and secondary school, whilst some even attend university and get the highest qualifications, but they use it for negative things like masterminding war. We should use education and academic knowledge to work on our inner mind as well as to benefit others, not destroy them.
