  • Self-Knowledge in the Theology of Bernard Of
    MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS: SELF-KNOWLEDGE IN THE THEOLOGY OF BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James U. DeFrancis, Jr. Ann W. Astell, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana July 2012 © Copyright 2012 James U. DeFrancis, Jr. MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS: SELF-KNOWLEDGE IN THE THEOLOGY OF BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX Abstract by James U. DeFrancis, Jr. This dissertation examines the various forms and roles self-knowledge assumes in Bernard of Clairvaux’s overarching vision of the spiritual life. Previous scholarship on Bernard’s doctrine of self-knowledge has correctly emphasized the significance he attaches to humbling self-knowledge, or the soul’s honest self-recognition as a disfigured image of God, in the soul’s first conversion and the initial stages of its return to God. A certain scholarly preoccupation with this aspect of the abbot’s thought has, however, somewhat obscured the full breadth of Bernard’s teaching on self-knowledge and the diverse forms and roles it assumes across the various phases of the soul’s spiritual life, including those which both proceed and follow its first conversion. Prior to its first conversion, Bernard believes, the soul suffers not only from self- ignorance, but also from a self-deception, a false self-knowledge born of pride, by which it imagines itself superior to others and therefore not in need of conversion or healing. It is precisely because he recognizes the seductive power of this self-deception that Bernard so frequently insists upon the soul’s humbling recognition of its own sad disfigurement as James U.

Pandita Dhaja Lankara1 YanYe2 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the students’ satisfaction towards the school instruction, course, grading, test, guidance, rules, library, and assistance between Naung Taung monastic high school and Kyauk Ta Lone public high school in southern Shan state, Myanmar. The collected data were analyzed by using the descriptive statistics including Frequency, Percentage, Standard deviation Mean; and Inferential Independent Samples t-test (Two-tailed). The study found that the students’ satisfaction at both schools were high. Thus, the research also found that in general there was no significant difference of students’ satisfaction between Naung Taung monastic high school and Kyauk Ta Lone public high school in southern Shan state, Myanmar. However, significant difference of students’ satisfaction towards course, grading, test, rules, and assistance were also founded in two schools. Keywords: Students’ Satisfaction, Myanmar, Monastic High School Introduction Since the earliest days, Myanmar has highly regarded education as their property of life. Because of this opinion, Myanmar people, from the past to present, firmly hold the motto “no one can steal or take away the golden pot of wisdom from those who have educated.” Traditionally, Myanmar people have strongly relied on monastic education since the time of the Myanmar kings, and they also had significantly at that time (Han Tin, 2000).

  • Phaung Daw Oo International University: Pre- College Program
    Presentation Phaung Daw Oo International University: Pre- College Program Providing further education for students with leadership abilities 2 Phaung Daw Oo International University: Pre-College Program (PIU-PCP) - Overview The Pre-College Program (PCP) was established in 2012 by two venerable Buddhist monks to provide underprivileged Myanmar high school graduates access to civic education and university preparation. Leading on from Phaung Daw Oo Monastic School, which was established in 1993 to provide free basic education from kindergarten to high school, PCP extends to further educate students of advanced civic education as well as community contribution and leadership. The programme is also designed to help connect graduates to educational opportunities at foreign universities, given that the current capacity of local universities remains somewhat limited and highly regulated. The main aim of PCP is to develop students into engaged community leaders and responsible citizens who will be able to contribute to the democratic development of Myanmar and its community institutions.

Qualitative and quantitative data, case studies, historical analyses and more theoretical, analytical and philosophical material are welcomed. The journal aims to assist in the human formation and exploration of ideas of those who feel inspired by a charism, its nature and purpose. In this context, charism is seen as a gift to an individual, in our case Marcellin Champagnat, who in turn inspires a movement of people, often internationally, across generations. Such an educational charism encourages people to gather, to share faith, to explore meaning, to display generosity of spirit and to propose a way forward for education, particularly of the less advantaged.

  • Medieval Education: a Bibliographical Essay
    MEDIEVAL EDUCATION: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY Thesis for the Degree of M. A MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY JOHN J. CONTRENI 1968 LIBRA RY IMHUHNlllHlIlUHIl“!llllil“H|lH|l1U|llflHHIHI Michigan mm, 3 1293 104388. _ Umvcrsxty ABSTRACT MEDIEVAL EDJCATION: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY* by John J. Contreni Before research can be undertaken on a particular problem it is helpful and, indeed, imperative to first re— view the "state of the question." The purpose of this essay, therefore, is to provide background for a further study of medieval education. This essay does not aim to supply a history of medieval education or even a history of one as- pect of medieval education. Rather, it aims to uncover the various approaches of historians toward medieval education. and the major trends in the historiography of medieval edu- cation.. The essay begins with a sampling of humanists' attitudes toward medieval culture. Though not historians of the Middle Ages, the men of the Renaissance entertained strong feelings about the age which preceded their own. Implicitly they compared the educational system of their own day to that of the late Middle Ages. The comparison was not favorable to medieval education. To the classicists of the Renaissance the concerns of medieval education smacked only of ignorance and barbarity. John J. Contreni During the Enlifitenment period various scholars who turned their attention to medieval education and edu- cational institutions produced works of real merit. His- tories of particular universities and of the refinement of culture and knowledge were, for the most part, based on a consideration of medieval education. But here again the pre— ponderant note in historical scholarship was the exaltation of the most recent period and that period's institutions to the detriment of those of a "less fortunate” time.
