(7) The attainment of true wisdom is thru following the Noble Eightfold Path of RIGHT understanding, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness & concentration.
(8) The Noble Eightfold Path as a whole, and in every part, is the Way of Compassion (karuna).
(9) True wisdom (bodhi) is compassion, and true extinction (nirvana) of suffering (duhka) is only thru complete releasement (moksa) of oneself to compassion.
Without relying on everyday common practices (relative truths), the absolute truth cannot be expressed. Without approaching the absolute truth, nirvana cannot be attained. (Nagarjuna)
