REAP - Quezon City, Philippines

There is a fable that tells of a student, holding a candle, who approaches his teacher, a monk, with a question; "Master, where does the light come from?" he asked. The monk, pondered the question for a moment, blew out the candle and answered: "O Young One, where did it go?" Both teacher and student bowed and smiled at each other in perfect understanding and went about their separate ways.

This simple fable talks about the intricacies of learning and teaching and the way these unfold in every culture. When a student asks a question and the teacher ponders on it, roles are reversed and in that magic moment, the student teaches and the teacher learns. It is an acknowledgement of perfect comprehension, enlightenment, and respect for one another.
