-[[means and knowledge]] ([[thabs dang shes rab]]) - Skt. [[prajna]] and [[upaya]]. [[Buddhahood]] is attained by uniting [[means and knowledge]]; in [[Mahayana]], [[compassion]] and [[emptiness]], relative and [[ultimate bodhichitta]]. In Vajrayana, [[means and knowledge]] are the [[development stage]] and [[completion stage]].
-According to the [[Kagyü]] 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 [[Trekcho]] practice of realizing the heart of enlightenment in this present moment, while 'means' is this meditation of [[spontaneous presence]], the [[Togal]] practice (through which the [[rainbow body]] is realized within one lifetime) of exhausting [ie., ''bringing to the point of self-dissolution''] any defilements and fixations.
