Wisdom

Learn the great key to finding the full potential in yourself and life:
See what is, through Mindfulness, and see the possibilities that could be, through Deep Wisdom, to realize our fullest potential.

A deep investigation of what ancient sages and 21st century science alike have discovered about the means of human fulfillment reveals the essential paths to happiness. A good place to start is Wisdom – understanding how our human experience of reality works, with two basic insights:

our world is constantly changing – our thoughts, emotions, body, other people, and our life circumstances – and it’s beyond our direct control, so we can relax and learn to work effectively with patterns of cause and result, in tune with the interconnectivity of all things; and
because all of our experience depends fundamentally on how we perceive the world, how we mentally label and categorize things (again, our thoughts, emotions, and body; other people, our circumstances), everything possesses limitless potential for transformation, beauty, purity, goodness based upon our habitual patterns of perception.

That part is up to us. While we can’t really control the changing world around us, we can deliberately cultivate positive effective habits of perception through intentional practice. This insight is both a foundation of modern social-cognitive psychology and a truth of ancient sages. As the Indian master Shantideva said, if the world is full of thorns pricking our feet, we have two choices – cover the whole world with leather or put on a pair of sandals. The opportunities for well-being for ourselves and others expand infinitely in the light of this wisdom. Listen up, them who have ears to hear.
