Of the Six Paramitas – Giving – Dana; Discipline – Five Precepts; Patience; Effort; Meditation; and Wisdom – Wisdom is the manifestation of the supreme wisdom of the Buddha that already lies deep in ourself, which through our practice we bring to the surface.

When I give basic instruction on meditation I talk about wisdom having a soft underdeveloped voice. Because we are so busy and distracted with our thoughts that voice of wisdom is hard to hear and frequently is shouted down or drowned out. Yet, deep down in the core of our being we have great potential for wisdom, our Buddha-voice.
