In December 2011, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave an interview to Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom (UECW) at Root Institute for Wisdom Culture in Bodhgaya, India. Matteo Passigato filmed the 90-minute interview. Lama Zopa Rinpoche gives advice on the elements of UECW’s name and vision.
Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom is an FPMT program of secular education for people of all ages and cultures. Until recently, UECW was called Universal Wisdom Education (UWE) and before that it was known as Essential Education (EE) as well as Universal Education (UE). The Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom (FDCW) is the FPMT international project that oversees UECW.
