Rainbow Bija Syllables

Post by ThreeVows »

I came across this site that has various bija syllables surrounded by the rainbow bindu.

https://www.jhaurawachsman.com/tibetan- ... on-images/

I’m familiar with the A being used in Dzogchen but have not necessarily seen other syllables represented this way that I can recall.

When would the other syllables be used in this way? What is so special about the A in Dzogchen? Is it just basically related to tantra references?

Thanks.
