Someone asked Master Cheng Yen, “How do we attain wisdom?”
The Master answered:
In order to attain wisdom, we should have a clear mind with no discursive thoughts and be optimistic and steadfast in everything we do. We should train ourselves regularly. Do not worry about the things that we do not wish to do, nor should we be troubled by things we are unable to achieve. Think more about what you should do, but do not complicate your thoughts. Wisdom lies in simplicity.
