Wisdom, the Sixth Perfection

"To attain knowledge, add things every day.
To attain wisdom, remove things every day."


Indeed, Wisdom is a state of non-attachment.

The other 5 perfections have the following defining characteristics:
  1. The perfection of Generosity is the intention to give away.
  2. Moral Discipline is a state of being untormented by disturbing conceptions.
  3. Patience is a state of not being angry.
  4. Enthusiasm is a state devoid of the unwholesome.
  5. Absorption gathers the attention to one point.
