Abstract

What is learning? What is the purpose of education? How to teach? Can we find any answers or indications to these questions in writings from a mystical tradition like Buddhism? The initial idea of the present study was to seek answers to these questions in a book about the Madhyamaka Philosophical School, which is a 2nd-century Indian philosophy originating from the old Nalanda University. The principal aim of the study was to analyze the uses and associations of the words “teach” and “learn” and relate to the current ways in which we understand teaching and learning. For data analysis, Bardin Content Analysis was used. The categories presented refer to the three initial questions. From the analysis, was possible to enter this context and observe the possibility of the academy to establish dialogues and discuss current societies' issues and their practices in the light of old knowledge.
