How to Cultivate and Attain Liberation of Body and Mind

The mental power of the mind consciousness permeates and cultivates the manas, so that the manas becomes fully endowed with mental power and faith is accomplished. When each dharma is initially guided through the permeation and cultivation of the mind consciousness, and then fully realized by the manas, that is actual realization, and the practice is thereby accomplished.

Only when one realizes that body and mind are not truly existent can one attain liberation; merely believing that body and mind are not truly existent cannot bring liberation. The distance between believing and realizing may be far or near, depending entirely on the level of one's practice. Without practice, the gap might span many kalpas.
