What does it mean that a bhiksu has achieved the mind-liberation?


What does it mean that a bhiksu has achieved the mind-liberation? Once the bhiksu has eliminated all his longings and attachments, he will have avhieved the mind-liberation.

What does it mean for a bhiksu to have achievedthe wisdom-liberation? It means that the bhiksu has ovserved and contemplated deeply into the truth behind all sufferings, has looked into the truth about the origin and ceasing of suffering, and has known the truth about the path of ceasing suffering. If the bhiksu knows the truths mentioned above as they truly are, he will be recognized as having achieved the wisdom-liberation.
