"In an era of globalization with its various forms touches every aspect of society through its triple value system namely, undwindled freedom, individualism and consumerism.

Consequently man and his humanity are alienated. In the midst of such every growing ill-touched both humanity and the living planet the educated needs to be re-educated by Buddhist education model which was/is a silent revolutionary tool of emancipation from the yoke of man-made systems of suffering and exploitation. Both religious dogmatism and globalization are being reflecting as major threats to the survival of humanity and this abode. In such crises-ridden situation, this book genuinely attempts to draw the alienated humanity to its foci of existence." (jacket)
