How to 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 first guided through the cultivation and permeation of the mind consciousness, and then fully realized by the manas, that is realization, and the practice is thereby accomplished.

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