identity of mantra. [detailed expl., 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]
