mantra
mantra (Skt.). Sacred sounds, thought to be imbued with supernatural powers. These range from single syllables (bīja-mantra) to lengthy combinations that, according to
tantric Buddhism, are manifestations of the speech aspect of enlightenment (
bodhi) both in the form of various deities and also as the sounds and letters which reveal the qualities embodied by them. Traditionally the word is understood as that which ‘protects’ (tra) the ‘mind’ (man), although scholars analyse it as a ‘device for thinking’ (man). Through using mantras in creative imagination and
meditation, one is able to access and develop the power of the various qualities they represent, whether for self-transformation or to accomplish various aims.
