Once you understand the reality of True Emptiness, you should approach it through conventional means of practice, by eliminating evil and cultivating the good. Once you perfect your cultivation of the Bodhisattva Way, you will attain Buddhahood. As a Buddha, you will have complete and perfect blessings and wisdom. How honorable, liberating and impartial is this process! Otherwise, you can only envy others who have attained Buddhahood. Do you believe in my words? If you do, put them into practice right away, and one day, you will eliminate all your suffering.
