Practicing Wisdom: The Perfection of Shantideva's Bodhisattva Way

Product Information

There is a larger issue behind this: do we become wise simply by knowing what wisdom is or by practicing wisdom? In this blog, I want to offer some thoughts on wisdom as the result of practice, that is, as the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method as opposed to theories about such application or use.

Wisdom can also refer to a wise person, someone who has performed wise acts in their areas of competence with no foolish acts that completely destroying their claim to wisdom. People who do only one wise thing in their lives are not usually considered wise, just ordinary or even unwise. Ordinary people occasionally act wisely, too. As the Chinese saying goes, “A wise man must sometimes lose, a fool must sometimes win/gain.” Although foolish men may sometimes act wisely, it happens rarely, few benefit and only for a short time. Knowledge doesn’t necessarily equate to wisdom, but you can also find free advice articles here too. These can help answer your questions that are relevant to your experiences, and in the future, you can reflect on them. 5. Set A Good Example Conn, A. (2017).

You get wiser when you put yourself out there and give yourself the opportunity to learn, make mistakes and reflect on the experience. If you tend to be on the inhibited side, work on cultivating an inquisitive spirit and the willingness to put yourself in new situations. [1] X Research source Every time you experience something new, you open yourself up to the possibility of learning and getting a little wiser for having tried it.Let’s say you always tend your garden a certain way because that’s how your parents, grandparents, etc., have always done it. You’ve been raised to believe that this is the best way, and you know these plants (and how to tend them) inside-out. Sternberg, R. J. (1998). A balance theory of wisdom.
