Liberation Is to Be Free from All Afflictions of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion.

What is liberation? Liberation means being free from all afflictions of greed, anger, and delusion; liberation means that toward form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mental objects, the mind has no obstruction and no bondage—neither greedy nor angry, neither delighted nor sorrowful; liberation means having no obstruction and no bondage toward all people, affairs, things, and principles—neither greedy nor angry, neither delighted nor sorrowful, with having something or having nothing being just the same; liberation means responding to food, clothing, shelter, daily necessities, and travel according to conditions without seeking anything, without a covetous mind; liberation means living in this world, knowing well contentment and moderation, getting by as one can, without improper desires; liberation means not dwelling on the past, not fantasizing about the future, and not abiding in the present either, with not a single thought lingering; liberation means that toward all people, affairs, things, and principles, the mind does not cling, clearly understanding their suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self, clearly understanding their origins and course, clearly understanding their illusory nature and unattainability; liberation means that toward all dharmas the mind is empty, free and unobstructed.
