Distributing knowledge to Others

wisdom, and brightness from meditation

There are three forms of knowledge. They are knowledge from memory, wisdom, and brightness from meditation. Knowledge from memory is gained by studying things and memorizing them. Knowledge from wisdom is gained by learning and experiencing many various things, which we have gone through in our lives. Knowledge form brightness from meditation is the inner brightness that shines on our mind to understand the way things are and then to think, speak, and act correctly. Actually, we need a perfect teacher who can teach us the knowledge from meditation.

the inner brightness that shines on our mind to understand

Who is the perfect teacher? Buddha and Arahanta are the perfect teachers, because their minds are completely enlightened and pure, and they contain great kindness to teach or distribute the knowledge without any kind of discrimination. It may be very difficult to find a perfect teacher in our generation. However, we can find the knowledge from monks or priests who know his teachings. The concepts of how to distribute knowledge to others are: sharing good teaching and switching between being students and being teachers (depending on who knows that topic of teaching better). There are some people in this world that do not want to share knowledge. There is no true benefit, if we just keep it for ourselves. We need to have a kind mind to do the sharing for the sake of goodness.
