A. Wisdom in Buddhism signifies the ability to see things as they are without being deluded by illusions, that is, the realisation that everything is empty.
He who has the wisdom to see and hear things as they are, is referred to as a man who has transcended birth and death because he sees them just as illusions, or as an idle person with no work to do since he sees whatever he does as empty. So, a life of wisdom means a peaceful and stable life free from the fear and worries that we sentient beings encounter in our lives.
