Summary: Wise view is fundamental to everything we do in the dharma. Having a direction establishes a context for all dharma activities. Without it we flounder and move in the direction of our conditioning toward pleasure and ease. Simply stated, wise view is the view that our thoughts distort our perceptions away from the inherent interconnection of all things. Working in clear alignment with interconnection allows us the courage and intention to move toward the difficult, toward that which seems to separate, and confirm the truth of oneness. All dharma activity must be in accordance with that intention, or it will further support the conditioned sense of separation.
