Based on a correct understanding of reality through knowing the two truths, we begin our journey along the path to enlightenment. Understanding conventional reality built around concepts and language, we practice compassion. This allows us to accumulate merit. Understanding ultimate reality of emptiness, free from objective independent reality, we accumulate wisdom. Our fully perfected collection of merit becomes the Form Body of a Buddha. It works continuously for the benefit of all sentient beings. Our fully perfected collection of wisdom becomes the Truth or Wisdom Body of a Buddha. It abides in the blissful wisdom realizing reality as it is.
