"Eventually, when you awaken in the Mahāyāna, you also eradicate reactivity. That is called the liberation component of awakening. It gets rid of all the reactivity and suffering. But in addition to that, which you get in the Mahāyāna, and which you don't find in the earlier Theravadan tradition, is another component which is called the omniscient component of awakening. You have this vast all-at-oneness as a direct experience, and you open up to what are called the Buddha bodies. The buddha bodies are then the basis of operation. It is no longer only within individual consciousness. Your basis of operation is now also the Dharmakāya awareness - that vast ocean of awareness which is the ground of our being. Simultaneous with that, the energy of manifesting anything in existence, across any potential kind of existence, is there at the same time. And simultaneous with that is your individual consciousness, and the content of your individuation consciousness and your personality, and the stuff of your ordinary mind. It's like quadraphonics - it's all there at once".
