About This Quote

Worldly knowledge is called illusion because it can also become a source of delusion. In other words, worldly knowledge is not the only truth. It is an illusory truth that can delude our understanding of the world. Even as we go about our daily lives, we must be vigilant to the false knowledge that we have accumulated through the experiences of the world.

But what is this false knowledge? How do we recognize it? And how do we release our ignorance? The answer lies in a simple word: "knowledge." It is a word that has a very wide meaning. From one perspective, it refers to an individual's mental state. From another, it refers to the body of knowledge that humans have accumulated from past generations.

In Buddhist terms, "knowledge" can refer to both mental and physical phenomena.
