Abstract

The article deals with the comparative analysis of the main tendency of the European higher educational system and the Buddhist university tradition. These two traditions of higher education have formed quite independently of each other. In spite of some similar features in the development of the Buddhist and European universities, even in the ways of organizing social life at universities and educational processes, in the course of time these two traditions have produced fundamentally different ways of approaching a text. The text plays the most important role in the university educational process. Therefore special attention is paid to the basic forms of usage of the text and its significance in this educational systems and how this specific features affect the ultimate goal of education in modern systems of higher education in European and Buddhist traditions. The issue of the purposes of higher education for the individuals and society in a whole is closely related to that of the university’s culture mission. This issue is very urgent for contemporary Russian society.
