Most statements today about higher education begin with the assumption that it should be relevant. That it should be relevant, however, does not settle the matter.

Clements dares to say we are living in a "post-mindfulness" era. What he means is that we all need to move into a post-hierarchical time where "nirvana" is not static and the mindful mind - observing one's self - is not mistaken for "dharma intelligence."
