siddhi
siddhi (Skt.). The extraordinary attainments achieved as the goal of tantric practice. These comprise two categories: the mundane (laukika) and the supermundane. The first category usually comprises clairvoyance, clairaudience, flying in the sky, invisibility, everlasting youth, and other marvels. The supermundane category is enlightenment (bodhi) itself.
