    The Western education is so much of a
    nourishment to the ego... in fact the Western
    psychology supports the idea that a person
    should have a very clear ego -- powerful,
    aggressive, ambitious; otherwise, one cannot
    survive in the struggle of existence.

    To survive, first you have to be, and you have
    to be not only defensive, because the right
    way of defense is to offend, to attack... Before
    anybody else attacks you, you should attack.
    You should be first, not the second, because
    to be defensive is already losing the battle.

    And because of the Western psychology, the
    whole educational system supports the idea
    that a man becomes mature as he attains a
    more and more crystallized ego.

    This goes against the experience of all the
    buddhas, of all the awakened ones...
