I now impart the Initiation of the Five Buddhas in the Five Groups.

Your Five Aggregations [the skandhas or five modes of consciousness] will thus be purified.

May you obtain the Initiation of the Universal

Reward Body (Sambhogakaya)!

Om Hum So Ahm Ha Sambhogaya Ahbi Aitsa Ah!

(The Guru blesses as follows:)

Having received the Initiation of the Five Buddhas, I wish that all your Five Aggregations will be purified and that

the Initiation of the Universal Reward Body be attained by you.

(The Guru now executes the Pointing-Out Practice.)

O well-gifted disciples: The so called Five Buddhas are nothing else but your own Five Skandhas. The non-extinct but purified [natures] of your own Five Skandhas are the Five Buddhas themselves:--The non-extinct but all-manifest Form, clear and vivid, is the Buddha of All Manifestations. (Tib. Rnam-b'ar-snang-mdzad; Skt. Vairochana). The non-extinct but all-manifest Feeling (Tib. Rin-chen-byun-gnas; Skt. Ratnasambhava) clear and vivid, is the Buddha of Treasury. The non-extinct but all-manifest Conception (Tib. Adushes), clear and vivid, is the Buddha of Infinite Light. The non-extinct but all-manifest Volition, clear and vivid, is the Buddha of All-Performance. The non-extinct but all-manifest Consciousness, clear and vivid, is the Buddha of the Diamond-Mind. This, you should understand.
