Part 4a.5 - How to recite the mantra

After the nature of the mandala thus elucidated has been known as one’s own mind, from the seed syllables in the heart centers of the deities filling the space of the sky, the mantra garland goes from the mouth of the deity into that of the consort, and from the secret space, on the tips of whirling light rays, come a host of syllables and bodies of deities and countless scepters. In the world they do benefit for sentient beings. Think that the self-sound of mantra resounds like a thousand thunders OM AH HUM SVAHA or OM HUM HRAM HRIH AH.

Recite the three syllables and the seeds of the five buddha families.
They become unborn sound-emptiness, like an echo.
Let yourself come to rest in this unfabricated state.

Recite the three syllables and the seed syllables of the five families. It is like the roar of a thousand thunders of the unborn. Within that rest in meditation without artificiality. Also abandoning the faults of additions and omissions and reciting too fast, slow, weakly or, strongly, do the recitation. This very sound-emptiness of reciting the mantra is the completion stage of sound. From that state, produce undisturbed mind and yoga without attachment.
