Curt did  understand my remark: it is a Western presupposition that makes 
us  separate out the wisdom/intellectual approach from the "practice"  
approach. The pathway of wisdom is a form of  practice.


I ran across the following:

"Then there is the case where a monk takes the Dhamma as he has heard &  
studied it and thinks about it, evaluates it, and examines it with his  intellect. 
He spends the day in Dhamma-thinking. He neglects seclusion. He  doesn't 
commit himself to internal tranquility of awareness. This is called a  monk who is 
keen on thinking, not one who dwells in the Dhamma."
