Without the practice of morality, there’s no enlightenment, no liberation from samsara, not even good rebirths in future lives.

Mantras
A mantra is a series of syllables, most often in Sanskrit, that is the subject of recitation, meditation, or other spiritual practice. While mantras also exist in the sutras, most are recited in conjunction with the practice of a particular tantric meditational deity, whose qualities they also embody. The term “mantra” means “mind protection,” because mantras function to protect the mind from ordinary impure appearances. Thus, in the context of deity yoga, mantras are indispensable as they not only function as a vehicle for a practitioner to develop the attainments of a deity, but also aid in training the mind to view all phenomena, including all sound, as pure.
While mantras are also used in prayer wheels and painted over doorways in order bring as much benefit as possible to all who see, touch, hear, or recite them, prerequisites exist for the recitation of certain Vajrayana mantras. As the lamas often explain, receiving an initiation into a deity’s mandala is a prerequisite for engaging in the practice of that specific deity. However, mantras often may be recited without having received an initiation, especially in the case of the mantras of kriya (action) tantra deities, or if one has the permission of one’s teacher. Many lamas, out of their infinite kindness, give the oral transmissions (lung) of some common mantras, as reciting mantras on the basis of having received the transmission makes the recitations more powerful. However, an initiation into the mandala of a deity is strictly required in order to practice the self-generation of that deity.
