ABOUT
The Respond network is a project unfolding in real time following an inquiry around wisdom. These practices capture a simple version of the ideas around which we are gathering.
The model presented here is not meant to be comprehensive. Its modest hope is to develop a clear way to talk about seeking wisdom, and to awaken your curiosity.

🏵️ Wisdom Practices can help you live a more meaningful and good life. The practices outlined below are simple introductions, and it’s important to remember that wisdom practices can go much deeper.
Any specific wisdom practice will emphasize some aspects while neglecting others. Deepening wisdom is also a process that involves community. Be sure to engage in your practices with others. Share insights, struggles
<aside> 👁️ View: How do I see myself, others, and the world? (A process of framing)

When 👁️ View better supports the flourishing of yourself, others, and the world over time, it becomes more profound—generating better frames for the problems you face.
You can't operate in the world without 👁️ View. But problems arise when you get locked into a way of looking. Buddhism offers one possible framework for staying in touch with the fluid nature of reality.
