Knowledge, Wisdom & Zhi

Knowledge, Wisdom, and Zhi (Spirituality) are the three great ladders to becoming a Celestial Being or a Buddha — Knowledge is the accumulated experience of the material world, a prerequisite for ability but not ability itself; Wisdom is knowledge elevated into practice, the capacity to discover, analyze, and solve problems; Zhi (Spirituality) is wisdom further elevated, the capacity to communicate with the antimatter world, the foundation of morality and the qualities of Celestials and Buddhas. The three ascend in sequence — yet the ultimate destination of cultivation is to transcend both knowledge and wisdom, and let one's original nature blossom.
