The true liberation, the true path to freedom, lay in the ability to forgive.
Liberation that raises a cry against others is no true liberation. Liberation that means revolutions of hate and violence and takes away lives of others or abases the dignity of others
cannot be true liberty.
People who are advanced meditators don't worry about liberation and self-realization; they instead are interested in the welfare of others and aiding others in their liberation.

Once renunciation and the awakened mind have been fully realized, the way to Buddhahood is clear. Liberation is complete and such liberated beings are then Bodhisattvas and Buddhas: "enlightened ones," or "empty dwellers."

To think that practice and realization are not one is a heretical view. In the Buddha Dharma, practice and realization are identical.

Thus, even while directed to practice, one is told not to anticipate a realization apart from practice, because practice points directly to original realization.
