In the Buddhist education system, the Middle Way or the Noble Eightfold Path is the defining principle. Striving for the harmony of theory and practice, the goal is for the acquired knowledge to become experience through practice, and then for the experiences to be integrated into everyday life. Through acquiring the appropriate attitude, skills, and knowledge, as well as learning and practising Buddhist methods, the aim also includes self-understanding and self-management, comprehension of our existential and life situations, and finding our place in the world.
