Published: April 25, 2018, 4:47 p.m.

Along with being one of the 10 paramis (or primary qualities of mind and heart that we are urged to practice), wisdom (prajna) holds a special place in the teachings because it is also one of the three main major pillars of practice. (The other two are virtue, and meditative depthor absorption.) Of these three, wisdom is seen as most central, since this is exactly what we are cultivating during meditation to counter it’s opposites: delusion, confusion, and self-deception. During this talk, Shell explores this 4th parami. (*This is the 5th talk in a 10-talk series on the 10 Paramis)
