The wisdom wing is all the nuts and bolts of Buddha's teachings, the four noble truths (what is suffering, it's causes, that you can get rid of it, and how to do the job). Buddha is the same as a scientist, in that belief is the starting point but you've got to prove it, make it your own experience. Karma and ethics, we create ourselves moment by moment, you are the main cause of you. The vast majority of all humans on this planet have absolutely no idea that what goes on in their mind plays any role at all in their lives. Every thought produces the person I become. The first level of practice is to control the servants of the mind - the body and the speech, because every negative action (an action that harms another) - it will harm you! Ignorance, attachment and anger, the three poisons. If you want to help others, practice compassion; if you want to help yourself, practice compassion. When you're with others, watch your body and speech; when you're on your own, watch your mind.
