However, integrating holistic education with Eastern thought has not been seriously considered in education.

T. Suzuki, Nishida Kitarō, and Izutsu Toshihiko), Hinduism (the Upaniṣads, the Bhagavad Gita, and Advaita Vedānta), Buddhism (the Buddha's teachings, Mahāyāna philosophies, and especially Zen), and Taoism (Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu). It also discusses critical ideas from Confucianism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism. Furthermore, it addresses Eastern sages such as Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Sri Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi, and Jiddu Krishnamurti. This work also tries to combine Western theories with the Eastern perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Eastern view of holistic education has theoretical and practical aspects.

Part II (Chapters 7-10) explores four essential ways relevant to holistic education--awareness (mindfulness), action, compassion, and art. \u003cem\u003eEducation for Awakening \u003c\/em\u003ebrings insights into the nature of the self, states of consciousness, enlightenment, nondualism, and the wholeness of being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYoshiharu Nakagawa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of education at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43729887887495,"sku":"9781805921936","price":82.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/yDcdsxACle9781805921936.webp?v=1768312688","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/education-for-awakening-an-eastern-approach-to-holistic-education-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
