How to Make the Seventh Consciousness Dwell Nowhere?

The mind that abides nowhere is the self-natured pure mind. It is indeed possible to live our days by means of Him, yet it is utterly impossible to live our days without Him. Whether we subjectively use Him or not is not up to us, for without Him no one could live a single day, nor even exist. The key is how He accompanies us through our days, and how the five consciousnesses, the sixth consciousness, and the seventh consciousness live out their days—this is the most crucial point. If the days are lived well, one becomes a Buddha; if lived poorly, one falls into the three evil destinies.

If we wish to live our days with the mind abiding nowhere, then we must make the seventh consciousness abide nowhere just like the fundamental mind of self-nature. To accomplish this, we must first find the fundamental mind that abides nowhere, and observe how He abides nowhere; then align ourselves with Him. In the future, the seventh consciousness will be able to abide nowhere, and the practice of the Path will be complete.

If we want to understand the Buddha-dharma clearly, we must observe the true mind and the deluded mind separately, understanding their respective natures, functions, roles, and characteristics. Then we must distinguish the seven consciousnesses one by one, understanding each one's functions, nature, roles, and characteristics. In this way, we can see ourselves and all sentient beings with perfect clarity, and understand the Buddha-dharma more thoroughly. Then, step by step, realizing the Buddha-dharma will not be a difficult matter.
