WHAT DOES IT take to use the life we already have in order to make us wiser rather than more stuck? What is the source of wisdom, at a personal, individual level? To the degree that I’ve understood the teachings, the answer to these questions seems to have to do with bringing everything that we encounter to the path. Everything naturally has a ground, path, and fruition. This is like saying that everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end. But it is also said that the path itself is both the ground and the fruition. So one sometimes reads, “The path is the goal.”
