Letter Ti belongs to Diamond BodhisattvaLetter Suo Po belongs to Bodhisattva Yi Ha Nuo ZhaLetter Ou belongs to Vajra Hayagriva BodhisattvaThoughts on the meaning of the root-word
These nine holy Sanskrit letters create all other words.
Therefore, they are called the mother of words. It is called the
seed syllable because it gives rise to a meaning and upholds it.
The first letter is the seed syllable; the rest belongs to imagination
leading back to the first letter. If the mysterious gate of the letter
Om is understood, all the endless Buddhas doctrine will also be
realized. One will understand that all the doctrines are not born,
that one doctrine covers all as one letter contains all the
meanings. From the realization that doctrines are not created
comes the realization that all doctrines are Non-Existent. As the
doctrine became reality, it has no beginning and no ending. Once
all the doctrines are realized, there will be no more speeches, and
no more lectures. The Dharma's nature is impartial like the rain
falling down equally on everything. Each letter has to be
thoroughly analyzed before all virtues and vows can be
completed.
Om represents the Three Bodies and implies that all
dharmas are not created. From Vajrabodhi translation: The gate
of OM is a stream that has no beginning nor ending and that is
the ultimate meaning of all dharmas.
