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.
