I think you become wise from a lot of things. Getting old and experiencing both pain and joy.
Life experience brings wisdom, usually. Unless you are a really slow learner, which could apply to me in certain areas of my life, such as forgetting to brush your teeth, which I do occasionally.
Trying to think for yourself. Question everything, especially Buddhism. Reincarnation is a hard one to swallow for me for example.
Christianity has wisdom. All religions do I believe. Find what suits you. What suits your values. Just don’t become a proslytiser, a saleman for your cause. Nothing worse than those Mormons knocking on your door trying to sell you their delusional view of Christianity. (even if they helped me fix a puncture once, which was kinda nice)
