- Buddhahood is attained by uniting means and knowledge; in Mahayana, Compassion and Emptiness, Relative and Ultimate Bodhichitta. In Vajrayana, means and knowledge are the Stages of Development and Completion. According to the Kagyu schools, means refers specifically to the 'Path of Means,' the Six Doctrines of Naropa and knowledge to the 'Path of Liberation,' the actual practice of Mahamudra. According to Dzogchen, 'knowledge' is the view of primordial purity, the Trekchö practice of realizing the heart of enlightenment in the present moment, while 'means' is the training in Spontaneous Presence, the Tögal practice of exhausting defilements and fixation through which the rainbow body is realized within one lifetime.
