-* 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.
