To enter by reason means to realize the essence through instruction and to believe that all living things share the same true nature, which isn't apparent because it's shrouded by sensation and delusion.
Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.
Whoever realizes that the six senses aren't real, that the five aggregates are fictions, that no such things can be located anywhere in the body, understands the language of Buddhas.
To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.
If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.
