In many CyberSangha broadcasts, the practice leader sings and/or plays a recording of a mantra commonly known as the SA LÉ Ö mantra, or the Mantra of Clear Light, to support one’s connection with the meditative state. The mantra is:
A OM HUNG A A KAR SA LE Ö A YANG OM DU
The SA LÉ Ö mantra is one of the Three Heart Mantras (Essence Mantras) of Bon, and is specifically related to the dzogchen view. Each of its syllables has a particular meaning and energetic resonance. Reciting it is recommended for meditation practitioners who need support in recognizing and connecting with the true nature of their mind.
