| English | For the Precious Lamp Dhāraṇī (Ratna-ulka-dhāraṇī) says:7A dhāraṇī is a chant the sounds of whose words are believed to have beneficial spiritual powers. Sometimes these words are semantically meaningful, as in this quotation, but sometimes they are not; many dhāraṇīs are like long mantras. Originally dhāraṇī may have meant "mnemonic device"; such chants could have been used to make it easier to memorize aspects of Buddhist teachings. Perhaps as a result, the phrase "to gain a dhāraṇī" is used several times in the Training Anthology with a special technical meaning, namely, to acquire extraordinary abilities related to memory. In contexts of this kind, the term is translated "mnemonic powers." |
