Educating for wisdom, love, and eco-cosmic Ubuntu: Toward an equitable planet

This article discusses the formidable challenges facing humanity, including wars, conflicts, climate change, species extinction, social divisiveness, and moral breakdown. The article critiques that contemporary education has fallen short in providing effective solutions to address these challenges, often directing learners to seek external answers while neglecting their inner wisdom. Self discovery and fostering a profound connection not only with ourselves but also with one another and Mother Nature would lead to peace and stewardship of the Earth. The article explores how we can harness the transformative power of love and compassion through contemplative practices deeply rooted in world wisdom traditions. These practices enable us to nurture the vital life force that sustains people, nature, and the entire universe. By cultivating our life energy and virtues, we expand our awareness to connect with all beings and existence and expand our capacity to drive social change.
