This book provides an important methodology on how to enable the witness prajna through the literal prajna. It is only with the help of the witness prajna that the literal prajna can really work to the fullest extent and ultimately lead to the Prajna of Reality, to the breaking down of the mystery and to enlightenment

In his book, Teacher Zhi Xin provides an in-depth analysis of the barriers of five skandhas of our physical body: form, feeling, thinking, formation, and consciousness; and the barriers of seven-layered structure: the physical body, physical body-driven consciousness, sixth or acquired consciousness, mind consciousness, soul or manas consciousness, super spiritual body, and alaya consciousness. Only after understanding the structure of this life, the composition of consciousness, does the true knowledge of life begin.
