Inner Wisdom and Great Compassion
Deriving wisdom from concentration
Spiritual practice can give one a tranquil mind, which can then be followed by wisdom. In terms of meditation, concentration means a progress of practice from a scattered, chaotic mind to a focused mind, and then to a unified mind, at which point one will have more objectivity. In terms of Chan, selfless wisdom is achieved when one lets go of one's self-centeredness and hence becomes undisturbed by the environment.
