Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

Re: Free online education
Very cool, It's good to see so much effort being put into a good cause, I've got another one I picked up from a ted video. It's currently in beta, so you've got to sign up to use it.

Re: Free online education
This is not correct because most of the free online sites do not have projects and excerises submitted for grading (Coursera is an exception to this) or if they require exercise/project submission, their curriculum is not the same as found in an actual class (Coursera is mostly not an exception on this point).learningdom wrote:Free online education programs also offer the same curriculum and set of lessons like those that are offered by on-school programs. The only difference is that it is more convenient, more engulfed by technology and there is a wide space for reliable and factual resources over the internet.
Online education is still supplemental or is useful for refresher classes. We still have a way to go before free online classes will offer essentially the same educational experience as that found in a class (irrespective of whether that class is a traditional class or a mix of traditional and active online/broadcast class as found in many universities).

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
"Only you can make your mind beautiful."
