Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary + (The three appearances are stages of the de … The three appearances are stages of the death process: appearance, increase, and attainment. An experience of luminosity, which usually goes untecognized, follows these three stages. According to Dilgo Khyenste Rinpoche, "When the connection between the body and mind is cut, the five elements of the body - earth, water, fire, wind, and space - dissolve into each other. There are many different experiences of dissolution of the elements, depending on the individual. The most common among beings is the threefold experience called appearance, increase, and attainment." He goes on to say that during the first stage, once the breath has ceased, the white essence (related to the father's semen) descends from the forehead center to the heart center. This is experienced as a white glow and an experience of intense bliss. In recognizing the nature of this experience, which is linked with the affliction of anger, one recognizes the essence of the nirmāṇakāya. The second stage is linked with the red element (related to the mother's menstrual blood), which ascends from the navel center to the heart center. At this point one's experience is suffused with a red glow. This is related to the affliction of passion and, when recognized, is seen to be the essence of the sambhogakāya. The third stage is as follows. Once these two have merged into the heart center, consciousness dissolves. This is experienced as a state of complete darkness and is linked with the affliction of ignorance. When its nature is recognized, it is realized to be the essence of the dharmakāya. If none of these stages are recognized for what they are, an experience of emptiness then follows. [PA 41-45]ence of emptiness then follows. [PA 41-45])
