Whether one is liberated or not is completely dependent on oneself. If we want to attain liberation, we have to create the cause which brings about liberation, and the cause is, reciting the mantra (OM MANI PADME HUNG, ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ) out of loving-kindness and compassion.

-- Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche
