All wisdom said, Arthur Schopenhauer, based on intuition and not on abstract principles, so it was not communicable. Accordingly, one might infer that there is no teacher of wisdom. What about the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Heraclitus, Socrates, and even with Schopenhauer himself - were not the teacher of wisdom? Arthur Schopenhauer was held in the ancient Indian Upanishads, the solace of his life - these were for him a source of wisdom? On the contrary, Schopenhauer had the Upanishads, the philosophical core of the Vedas, as the "fruit of the highest human knowledge and wisdom" praised!
If I think something on these issues, then I find this a banner (of wisdom?) that I had read in the context of Zen: "The finger pointing at the moon, is not the moon." Therefore I seek in wisdom literature is not "the truth" itself, but "hints" on them, references to the path that can lead to it.
recognize the "truth" requires one's own intuition, because intuition is the foundation of knowledge. Maintains it is the "right view" is an essential part of the Buddha taught the Noble Eightfold Path. How can there be on the "right view" established "right knowledge" by the Buddha in his teachings, "explained in detail.
Although in other forms, but in accordance with Buddhist content astonishing statements I found on Arthur Schopenhauer many valuable hints to contemplation and meditation, that is the "right view". For Schopenhauer it was the "willing-free" view, which is not clouded by any willing perception. "Pure look" may lead to knowledge of what in words and thus also wisdom literature is no longer communicable.
wisdom writings, which are based on spiritual experiences, this very important since they can help to open the eyes see, but we must in itself has that effect me Arthur Schopenhauer in difficult hours of my life very useful, and therefore it is for me not any of the many philosophers, is theorized about the courses in universities: Arthur Schopenhauer was never a professor of philosophy and his philosophy was and is still far from the academic philosophy operation. When I read his writings, I have not learned from me, but an experienced, one that has the "look". Precisely because Schopenhauer was to what it has become to me, the teacher of wisdom.
