Mantra : The individual syllables A RA PA CA and NA have no conceptual meaning, although they are seen as having symbolic connections with various spiritual qualities.

• A leads to the insight that the essence of all things is unproduced.
• RA leads to the insight that all things are pure and free of defilements.
• PA leads to the insight that all dharmas have been “expounded in the ultimate sense.”
• CA leads to the insight that the arising and ceasing of things cannot be apprehended because in reality there is no arising or ceasing.
• NA leads to the insight that although the names for things change the nature of things behind their names cannot be gained or lost.
