What is the only real education available in Buddhist nations under that kind of idolatry?

The sole real education comes through the priests. In Buddhist nations dominated by that idolatry, priestly instruction is the only educational channel available. This matches the ancient pattern of Moses being learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, which was likewise tied to an idolatrous system.

Les explains that in those nations under that kind of idolatry, the only real education available is through the priests; that is the only education that is accessible. He points to the example of the Dalai Lama and Buddhist monks to illustrate this. He then connects it to Moses, who was learned, or educated, in all the wisdom of the Egyptians after Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son.
