According to Jamgön Kongtrül, the five manifestations of enlightenment are presented differently in the various tantric lineages. There are, however, certain elements common to these different approaches. The following presentation from the ''Hevajra Tantra'' mirrors Jigme Lingpa's description translated in this book. Kongtrül writes, "Developing the five manifestations of enlightenment involves the following. On top of the lotus and other elements that make up the throne, visualize that a moon disc comes out of ''ali'' and a sun disc out of ''kali''. Resting on the center of these is a symbolic implement marked by a seed syllable. Light radiates out from this implement. Gathering back in, it coalesces into the complete form of the deity. This is what is referred to as 'the five manifestations of enlightenment.' From the moon comes mirrorlike wisdom; from the sun, the wisdom of equality; from the seed and implement, discerning wisdom; from the coalescing of all these factors, all-accomplishing wisdom; and from the complete form of the deity, the wisdom of the basic space of phenomena. This is based on the explanation of the ''Hevajra Tantra''." [TK 3, 208]on of the ''Hevajra Tantra''." [TK 3, 208])
