1.8

Question: This dharma is called liberation; between the two liberations of mind and wisdom, which gate subsumes it? Explanation: It combines and communicates with both. In essence it is mind liberation; in function it is wisdom liberation. The mind of true consciousness being free from defilement is called liberation, so the essence is mind; wisdom's function being unconditioned is called liberation, so the function is wisdom. Because the function is wisdom, in the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] it is said that wisdom liberation opens out to five paths; one clearly knows that its universal function is entirely wisdom liberation.
