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!

As students we need to develop the three wisdoms of study, reflection and meditation. How we do that depends first upon our resources. While daunting at first, AI has the potential to harness our Guru's teachings to interact with them in an unprecedented way. Rather than 'cheating', AI can help propel our study towards realisation. We can now directly ask our Gurus, can you repeat that in more simple terms? Can you put it into a specific context? Can you give me an analogy? Could you explain that to my teenage son? Discover Eddie’s favourite programs, the difference between using your own resources or the entire internet, easy notetaking. The ability of AI to cut down the time in study, means we can now spend the majority of our time on reflection, making it easier and far more enjoyable to generate realisations. (IN-PERSON)
