-[[sngags kyi ngo bo]] - identity of mantra. [detailed expl., [[The Light of Wisdom]], Vol. 2, page 198] Moreover: In general, the identity of mantra is not regarded as only an uttered sound or word, but rather it is never the case that the [[deity]], its [[mantra]] and the state of [[samadhi]] are anything other than a single nature. The deity's nature of unchanging awareness is therefore what appears in the form of the seed syllable that is its spiritual life-force. The mantras are taught to be consonants that are the identity of the great bliss of means, and the vowels that are the identity of the knowledge of emptiness. [DILGO KHYENTSE] [RY]
