Children Dhamma: Talking about the Dhamma
You look at him and you probably wouldn't think he looks smart, weird perhaps - but Zhang Xinyang(inset) who at 13, did his Master degree at Beijing University of Technology and accepted by Beihang University to study doctorate in mathematics at 16, had in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV), proven himself to be not just childish, unreasonable but also plain selfish. The genius had occasionaly threatened to stop his studies if his parents refused to buy an apartment for him in Beijing. Zhang's father, Hui Xiang, an ordinary middle-income civil servant from Liaoning province, has educated his son to be an active learner and encouraged him to think and question. The boy reportedly could talk about serious topics from the Iraq war to city image. Probably, you'd wonder if he could talk about the Dhamma?
