When practicing meditative concentration (dhyāna and samādhi), which mind is the one that wishes to fly, ascend, and transform? It is that the tathāgatagarbha, in coordination with the manas's mental deliberation (manasikāra), fulfills the manas's needs and desires, enabling the physical body to fly and transform.
The basis of accomplishment of aspiration (chanda-ṛddhipāda) is mainly the aspiration of the manas; when the manas's aspiration is fulfilled, the manas has power. When it wants to achieve a certain goal, the tathāgatagarbha has no choice but to satisfy the manas. If the manas lacks power, the tathāgatagarbha cannot cooperate either. Within this, it still relies on the mind consciousness's visualization and guidance, working together with the manas to achieve the goal. It can be seen that the manas makes use of the six consciousnesses and the eighth consciousness to realize all of its mental designs. The power of the manas is precisely the power of meditative concentration. The basis of accomplishment of aspiration is mainly the manas's samādhi: through the mind consciousness's cultivation, the manas gains the power to reach its goal and fulfill the manas's desires.
