The Fusion Of Reality And Wisdom

Buddhism extensively talks about the crucial aspect of wisdom- a word that literally defies definition. The scope of the word is wide ranging indeed. Now, coming to the crux of the concept. The fusion of reality and wisdom is basically the fusion between enlightenment in this lifetime and the ability to realize the inherent potential to attain enlightenment.

Reality basically refers to the existence of the concept of Enlightenment and the possibility to attain enlightenment in this lifetime. Wisdom on the other hand refers to the ability to comprehend the unimaginable and almost incalculable ability of humankind to attain a state of unsurpassed enlightenment in this lifetime.

As a matter of fact, it is beyond the capability of lay people to understand the depth of the inherent ability of all human beings to attain unsurpassed happiness or absolute happiness in this lifetime. As an enlightened soul, the Daishonin, in the 13th century, stressed on the fact that practitioners of the Lotus Sutra had the profound capability to realize that every human being has the potential to attain enlightenment in this lifetime.
