Introduction How do we perceive things? Is the way we perceive things accurate? Does the way we perceive things influence our experiences of happiness and suffering? What is the relationship between perception and wisdom? Could an accurate, wise, way of perceiving things be a source of well-being and freedom from suffering? This course focuses on wisdom. It reflects on its meaning, relevance, and how it counteracts the causes of suffering. It goes deeper into the most profound aspect of wisdom: understanding the nature of reality. It concludes with the nature of mind which makes full awakening possible and it is complemented by references to current scientific understanding on wisdom and well-being and the process of perception.
