Regarding these never-ending adornment wheels of [[Body, Speech, Mind, Qualities, and Activities]], we offer this from [[The Light of Wisdom]] Volume 1, pg. 238:
 
The details of the magical display of the fourfold conversion possessed by a nirmanakaya are as follows: conversion through the perfect deeds of his body endowed with great merit, such as the Twelve Deeds and so forth; conversion through the direct perception of the great [[superknowledges]] of his mind, which are the six [[superknowledges]]; conversion through the great miraculous power of his inconceivable qualities and activities, which are the various magical displays of the deeds of his three secrets; conversion through the knowledge of teaching the five vehicles of his speech or conversion through the Mahayana teaching of his speech.  The five vehicles are for gods, humans, [[shravakas]] and [[pratyekabuddhas]], bodhisattvas, and the Secret Mantra. [JOKYAB]
 
These five never-ending adornment wheels refer to the twenty-five qualities of fruition--five each of [[body, speech, mind, qualities, and activities]]--which are never-ending, unceasing adornments of [[dharmadhatu]] ([[sku gsung thugs yon tan phrin las mi zad pa rgyan gyi 'khor lo]]). [Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche]
 
According to the commentary on the ''Lotus Essence Tantra'' by Pema Chogyal of me nyag, entitled ''Radiant Lamp of Jewels'', these twenty-five qualities are described as follows:
 
The [[five kayas]] (bodies) are: (1) The tranquil [[dharmakaya]], the perfection of the benefit of oneself. (2) The unified [[sambhogakaya]], the spontaneously present benefit for others. (3) The manifold [[nirmanakaya]], skilled in the [[means]] of taming whomever needs to be tamed. (4) The [[abhisambodhikaya]], the distinct and unmixed apparent aspect of the [[three kayas]]. (5) The [[vajrakaya]], their empty aspect and the fact that the [[three kayas]] are of one taste in being [[dharmadhatu]].
 
The [[five types of speech]] are: (1) The ultimate speech of dharmakaya, purity beyond expression. (2) The symbolic speech of smabhogakaya, illustrated by bodily forms. (3) The verbal speech of nirmanakaya, possessing the melodiousness of Brahma. (4) The knowledge speech of abhisambodhikaya, appearing as the individual voices of those to be tamed. (5) The wisdom speech of vajrakaya, the [[nonduality]] of resounding and being empty.
 
The five types of mind are: (1) The dharmakaya mind wisdom as [[dharmadhatu]]. (2) The sambhogakaya mind as [[discriminating wisdom]]. (3) The nirmanakaya mind as [[all-accomplishing wisdom]] (4) The abhisambodhikaya mind as mirror-like wisdom. (5) The wisdom-vajra mind as wisdom of [[equanimity]].
 
The five types of qualities are: the perfect qualities of the realm, celestial palace, rays of light, throne, and ornaments.
 
The five activities are the pacifying, increasing, magnetizing, subjugating, and spontaneous accomplishment of the four activities.
 
These never-ending adornment wheels of the body, speech, mind, qualities and activities remain unceasing for as long as the space pervades, appearing spontaneously and effortlessly for the welfare of all [[sentient beings]], as many as fill the space. [EPK]
 
These qualities are the domain of only the tathagatas, the buddhas who have gone (gata) to the state of innate [[suchness]] (tatha).  It is needless to mention ordinary beings, [[shravakas]] and [[pratyekabuddhas]], since these are not yet within the domain of [[bodhisattvas]] of the [[ten bhumis]]. [JOKYAB]
