Today’s Lamrim Quote – 16 October 2012

“The advantages of generating wisdom:

1. It is the root of all positive qualities
2. The fact that a bodhisattva is not perturbed by good or bad conditions and that he is skilled in methods such as generosity and so forth depends on wisdom
3. One endowed with wisdom can accomplish without contradiction even those actions that appear contradictory to common beings
4. That the two truths are considered non-contradictory is also due to wisdom
5. That permissions and prohibitions are non-contradictory also depends on wisdom”
