wisdom should study the way things are in the world and should practice the
perfections fully and in depth but should not believe them to be ultimately
real, nor should he make concepts and doctrines out of them."
The Buddha replied: "Just so, Subhuti. The one who contemplates existence in
this way knows the nature of the conditioned and of the unconditioned and
makes himself an expert in pointing out the truth to others, both with words
and without words."
Subhuti asked: "But is this just for the wise and the intelligent?"
"No, indeed," replied the Buddha. "This is open to all, even to the dull
witted and to those who can't pay attention. The door is open to anyone who
wants to tread this path -- but not to the person who is lazy and
indifferent."
-Prajnaparamita
