An interview with the Go Master, the 7-th part

What does it mean “to found a school”? What is required for it?

-You cannot set a task “to found a School” as this task is not only at our human level. What’s needed to found a School? It is an interaction of a triad “Heaven – Earth – Human” as the School is founded by a human between the heaven and the earth for people. All the three levels unify in the School.
The School cannot exist without sense. Where should one search for the sense? It is impossible to found a School of Go as a table game. There won’t be any idea. Will there be true apprentices and a teacher? Vanity… If people communicate in the context of a table game, it will be a table game that will develop. So, what will happen to the people? It’s not known. Is it possible that the aim of human lives is to develop a table game? For example, Go. What is the purpose of founding a school of go table-game? There should be at least some practical goals in the basis. Somebody founds a school just because s/he plays go well. S/he founds a school to acquaint people with how he or she plays. For money or free of charge but just to acquaint. So, what’s next? Somebody gets acquainted enough, somebody doesn’t, somebody surpasses his/her teacher. What should such a student do? Should s/he leave the school or take the teacher’s place and continue developing the table game? It is rather shallow, and induces me to nothing.
So, what can we conclude? To found a School we need a deep and strong idea. But how can we find it?
