Tantric & Sutric Mantras.
I've read that Mantrayana (Way of Mantras) is still Tantric Buddhism, which means that certain Tantric Mantras can be practiced after getting empowerment from one's Teacher (Lama).
There are also Sutric Mantras, these can be practiced by anyone, even without getting empowerment.

Blog author's practice.
I am on Mantrayana Way, because Lama Ole Nydahl told me to speak Mantras, mostly the
OM MANI PEME HUNG mantra.
I've also heard from the Teacher (won't disclose His name here), that I've learned KARMAPA CHENNO mantra, so - if I didn't misunderstand His words - I can use this mantra.
My plan is to use few Sutric Mantras and the KARMAPA CHENNO mantra as well, as my main practice.
OM MANI PEME HUNG - Compassion Mantra, can be practiced anytime, by anyone,
OM A RA PA CA NA DHIH - Wisdom Mantra, can be practiced as Sutric Mantra or as Tantric Mantra,
(OM) GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SOHA - Heart Sutra Mantra
/ It is written that the Heart Sutra teaches Emptiness through the epitome of Compassion /,
KARMAPA CHENNO - 'Power of all Buddhas work through us'. It's Tantric Mantra, but I am allowed to use it. :)
