How is one skilled in the staying \[of the mind\]? If one understands tathatā of vijñapti as it really is. How is one skilled in raising \[the mind\]? If one understands the two kinds of bondage as they really are—the bondage of nimittas and the bondage of dauṣṭhulya—and having understood them, one is skilled in knowing 'this mind should be raised from them.' How is one skilled in the increase \[of the mind\]? If, when the mind that is the antidote to nimittas and dauṣṭhulya arises and increases, one is skilled in its increase, knowing 'it arises and increases.' How is one skilled in the decrease \[of the mind\]? If, when that discordant mind defiled by nimittas and dauṣṭhulya decreases and diminishes, one is skilled in its decrease, knowing 'it decreases and diminishes.' How is one skilled in means? If one cultivates the liberations, the bases of mastery, and the totalities. Maitreya, in that way, bodhisattvas have accomplished, will accomplish, and do accomplish the great power of a bodhisattva."
