The Buddha Describes a Wise Person of Great Wisdom




A certain monk asked the Blessed One, "It is said , Bhante, 'a wise person of great wisdom, a wise person of great wisdom.' In what way is one a wise person of great wisdom?"

"Here, monk, a wise person of great wisdom does not intend for his own affliction, or the affliction of others, or for the affliction of both. Rather, when he plans, he plans for his own welfare, the welfare of others, the welfare of both, and the welfare of the whole world. It is in this way that one is a wise person of great wisdom."

~The Anguttara Nikaya
