    The 92nd of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination


    Gate Ninety-two

    Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received during the process.

    The wisdom pāramitā is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we eradicate the darkness of ignorance, together with attachment to views, and we teach and guide foolish living beings.

    Wisdom pāramitā : the wisdom of knowledge

    By “Dharma Gate”, We mean a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.

    Koan:
    "In the Mahayana Six Perfections (paramitas), the sixth perfection is prajna paramita -- the perfection of wisdom. It is said of the perfection of wisdom that it contains all the other perfections, and without it no perfection is possible. "Wisdom," in this case, is nothing other than the realization of sunyata. This realization is said to be the door to enlightenment. "Realization" is emphasized because an intellectual understanding of a doctrine of emptiness is not the same thing as wisdom. To be wisdom, emptiness first must be intimately and directly perceived and experienced. Even so, an intellectual understanding of sunyata is the usual first step to realization.

    So much is contained in prajñā-pāramitā
    That I can put all of my efforts into seeing
    How it blooms, all the while
    Paying no heed to what you are doing.

    We only see the light reflected
    Such it is with ignorance
