Without wisdom we are like a blind person who unfortunately cannot see things clearly and may make many mistakes even harming themselves and others. Learning to increase our wisdom helps us to see things as they really are, and to therefore avoid making mistakes. With wisdom we are like a person with perfect eyesight who sees everything clearly.

19 Jan: Why does emptiness matter?

Realizing emptiness is a universal remedy, a panacea, because it the only experience that alone solves all our problems. It removes the physical and mental torment and this life and future lives because it completely destroys our self-grasping, which is the root cause of all suffering.
