"The Wisdom Project"
genkaku
Northampton, Mass. U.S.A. Veteran
Locally, the following ad appeared in a newspaper section devoted to senior center programs:
Aside from anything else, how in the world could anyone acknowledge or recognize wisdom in a meaningful way without being "wise" in the first place? And if this is so, how much reliance would anyone want to place in the "wisdom" of others?
Just something to check out, I imagine.
What do you think?
THE WISDOM PROJECTThe ad did not inspire me to run out and sign up, but it did make me think that any serious Buddhist might want to examine the people or things or ideas (teachers, temples, texts, rituals, encouragements, etc.) s/he considered in some way "wise."

Day: Thursdays. Time 10-11:15 a.m.

Children are super wise. Imo wisdom is the ability to see what is.
If someone can point to you to what is then that serves as a function of wisdom but is in itself not wisdom.
It isn't cultivated or lost. Wisdom is always showing. Thus when the wise say words of wisdom it touches a part of is that knows. Oh yes, this is wisdom. Nothing i do not know but made clear out of compassion.
Wisdom has a view and function. No view, spontaneous movement.
So really if one were to have the correct conditions then everything would appear as wisdom. Because we don't we must cling onto the three jewels. Until the three jewels reveal themselves.
For the purposes of the ad, I have a feeling the advertiser wanted to bypass discussion that focused on lipstick or brands of running shoes.
