Wisdom is like a
mirror.
It reflects as it is
if any thing or any one come to you. Only when you have emptied all your
learning and preconceptions can your mirror or wisdom emerges.
Concepts and knowledge are obstacles for the spiritual growth.
However most intellect
ones can not see the difference.
The sixth patriarch
Hui Neng who is not educated has only wisdom to expound the dharma. That is why
wisdom is only skillful means to understand the teaching of the Buddha. Most
intellect ones just collect more and more information and knowledge.
Hence they are not aware that they have created obstacles and obstructions for
themselves to get closer in the realisation of the truth.
