Lokottara
Lokottara (Skt.; Pāli, lokuttara). The transcendental and supramundane in Jainism and Buddhism. In early Buddhism, it refers to all that leads beyond clinging (taṇhā) and attachment to nirvāna. In Mahāyāna, it applies especially to the Buddha conceived of as a transcendental being of limitless wisdom and power. The Lokottaravāda was a school maintaining that every utterance of the Buddha, even those which are apparently mundane, are in fact concerned with transcendental matters.
