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.

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.
