This term we begin the sixth perfection, the Perfection of Wisdom. Why is this the most important of the Six Perfections? Because all of us share the wish to be happy and to overcome duḥkha. We recognise how the situation in saṃsāra is utterly unsatisfactory, but ceasing samsara entails eradicating its causes, and these are rooted in the ignorance grasping persons and phenomena as inherently existent. By meditating with the wisdom directly perceiving emptiness, the afflictions and their seeds can be gradually cleansed from one's mindstream until full awakening is on the horizon!
