Buddhism & Wisdom of Socrates
Wisdom is rooted in the souls of human beings,
The way to acquire it is to follow the simple advice of Socrates: ‘Know thyself,’
This is the starting point for the establishment of a sense of human dignity,
Preventing the degradation of human beings into anonymous, Interchangeable cogs in a machine,
The essence or true knowledge is self-knowledge.
