Author(s) Dr. Sudipta Mandal

Abstract Education is a key defining the level of development of the individual and the society at large. To attain such development focus has to be given on quality education. Quality education aims at dissemination of knowledge that guarantees holistic development of the individual culminating into creation of a higher societal order. It entails individuals to completely realize their true potentials which empower them with the knowledge to understand their own existence and the world around them. It stands for comprehensive development encompassing all facets of life. The essence of this idea is predominantly reflected through the Buddhist philosophy lying within the Indian knowledge system. Buddhist philosophy is a vast area of study focusing on a pragmatic and rational understanding of life experiences. It aims at channelizing individuals to the path of ultimate realization and accomplishment of knowledge and wisdom. It propagates the paths, principles, practices and ideas following which an individual can attain intellectual along with mental, moral, ethical and spiritual development. Education in Buddhist philosophy is conceived as a lifelong process that continues till the individual attains the stage of enlightenment, reflecting the ultimate realization of purpose of life and self existence. In this context, the present research paper tries to delve into the different principles and ideas present in the Buddhist philosophy that highlights on the importance of acquisition of quality education as a fundamental prerequisite ensuring development of the self and the society. The paper also attempts to evaluate and bring forth the importance of the notions of holistic development and inclusivity ingrained within the Buddhist philosophy.
