#redirect [[Guhya Mantra]]
 
[[Appearance]] ([[snang ba]]). 1) A sense impression or mental occurrence; anything that is experienced by a conscious mind. A normal person always feels that appearances are 'out there' and separate from the perceiver, while in the Buddhist philosophy of [[Mahayana]] appearances are understood first to be only mental events, then [[empty of inherent existence]], and finally beyond constructs such as [[arising, dwelling and ceasing]]. In [[Vajrayana]], i.e. from the viewpoint of [[self-existing wakefulness]], appearance(s) is/are primordially indivisible from [[emptiness]] and therefore a pure expression of the male buddhas and the female buddhas and [[bodhisattva]]s; this is called '[[all-encompassing purity]] of appearance and existence.' 2) The first of the three subtle [[dissolution]] stages. 3) [[Luminosity]] of appearance. The first of the three stages of appearance, increase and attainment. ([[snang ba'i 'od gsal]])
 
Increase ([[mched pa]]) - 1) The second of the three experience of appearance, increase and attainment. 2) Experience of increase ([[mched pa'i nyams]]) - The second of the stages of appearance, increase and attainment {[[snang mched thob gsum]]}. 3) Redness. The second stage of the subtle [[dissolution]] stages of appearance, increase and attainment. ([[dmar lam]]) [RY] [RY]
 
Attainment ([[thob pa]]) - The third of the three experiences of appearance, increase and attainment. Experience of attainment ([[thob pa'i nyams]]) - The third of the three stages of appearance, increase and attainment. Blackness ([[nag lam]]) - An experience of utter blackness which is the third stage of appearance, increase and attainment [RY]
 
([[snang mched thob gsum]]) - The three stages in the process of [[dissolution]] either at the moment of dying or when falling asleep. [RY]
 
([[snang mched thob gsum]]) - appearance, increase and attainment, dawning, widening and achieving, the three subtle cognitions [RY]
 
([[snang mched thob gsum]]) - soft light, intense spread of light, inner glow, appearance, increase and attainment (whiteness, redness, blackness when dying) [JV]
