The Wisdom of Tenacity
August 22, 2008
We come to the practice because we’re looking for some wisdom in our lives. We’ve heard that by meditating, the mind gets to calm down; when it’s calm and still it can see things more clearly. But then the question arises, what kind of wisdom are we looking for? And it’s important to understand right off the bat that wisdom is not a matter of being smart or stupid. Rather, it comes from conviction in the importance of your actions. It’s as simple as that. Just learning how to apply that principle across the board turns conviction into wisdom.
