Are we not each unique?

Each that arises from emptiness be it a mind stream or the dhramakaya?

We are each of the same essence.

All that is can be found within us as us but we are each unique in that expression based on karma.

Because we are each unique and separate we can help each other. We are not just one giant blob. Hence the Bodhisattva vow.

Ultimately as the teachings mention you and the Yidam are one and the same as in non dual, it is all within you.

Kinda like in KS we all don't fall into or are expressions of Shiva. We each can become one like Shiva and receiving grace is part of that process.

The Buddha called it the sustaining power of the Tathāgata .

I just explained it. Please look things up.

I mean you couldn't even be bothered to look up what an ethnic group is..

Study or go to a temple and ask a lama.

Oh great another little thing you can hold over someone's head to say look what you got wrong.

Who really cares.

Everything you have posted came from the mind, yours and the person who first thought of these teachings, no ?
