In this talk, Shudo Chris Burkhart gives a brief historical introduction to our practices and literature. She then invites us to consider connections between the Six Perfections and the 8-Fold path. In particular, when you think of each group as a progression (Way), notice that Wisdom is the last of the Six Perfections, but the first on the 8-fold path. So which is it? Do we need Wisdom before we study the rest of the Way, or do we need the learn the Way before we are ready to practice Wisdom?
