The Bodhisattva virtues of wisdom and compassion can sound like lofty, maybe unattainable ideals. However, if we understand them as momentary expressions of the practice of not-knowing they are near at hand. Not-knowing isn't willful ignorance or the random rejection of knowledge; it is a practice of radical openness in the present moment. It is about making space around fixed views, preconceptions, and habitual patterns which in turn allows for an intimate resonance of the body-mind with the complexity and uniqueness of the situation at hand. As we learn to make openness and resonance our own continuous practice, we naturally find ourselves walking the Bodhisattva path of wisdom and compassion one step at a time.
