If you know how to suffer, you suffer much less.
Thich Nhat Hanh
What I neglected to mention in the previous video in regards to what wisdom is...is that wisdom is awareness. It is an energy that brings us back to the only "time" there is , the only "place" there is...where we can see clearly what is....and that is in the here and now. Awareness is wisdom. Wisdom diffuses suffering and helps to generate joy and happiness. It encompasses three things, according to Thich Nhat Hanh: mindfulness, concentration and insight. The wise know that suffering is useful, that it is the mud by which the beautiful lotus of happiness, compassion, kindness, joy and love grow.
All is well!
