Lessening Heart Hums, 49th Day of Childwinter, 526 M.E. (Aldebaran): Knowledge is raw data. Intelligence is knowing how to parse and sort that raw data. Wisdom is understanding what to do with the parsed and sorted raw data.
Ignorance is not knowing. Knowledge can exist in ignorance, but not intelligence and even less so wisdom.
The bell looks like a mouth, gaping,Indifferent to the wind blowing in the four directions;If you ask it about the meaning of wisdom,It only answers with a jingling, tinkling sound.
- Rújìng (1163-1228 C.E.), Chinese monk who taught and gave dharma transmission to Sōtō Zen founder Eihei Dōgen
