- Dharani
- To maintain, to maintain all, or the ability to maintain. In
this sense it is to maintain all the connections from Heaven, to
collect good doctrines, and to protect the good seeds. Having the
patience and strong will to face the challenges in this life and in
future lives is the main definition of Dharani. Dharani is also the
ability to conceal. It is the energy to conceal bad seeds and wrong
thoughts and to stop them from developing. Dharani is therefore
a supporting force, a perfect tool to facilitate meditation by
eliminating the mind's turmoil.
There are four types of Dharani:- Literature Dharani – Helps to always remember Buddha’s
doctrine (Buddha dharma). - Meaningful Dharani – Helps to remember the logical
meaning of Buddha’s doctrine. - Mantra Dharani or True Words Dharani - Helps to
eliminate all wicked actions, sorrows and obstacles from the
mind. The Mantra Dharani goes together with Yantra and
Mudras. Dharani is the mystery of words. Mudra is the mystery
of the body. Yantra is the mystery of the Mind.
