Iddhi

"Miracle at Śrāvastī." From a Prajñāpāramitā palm leaf manuscript. Nalanda, Bihar, India

Iddhi (Pali; Sanskrit: ṛddhi) in Buddhism refers to "psychic powers",[1] one of the six[2] supranormal powers (abhijñā) attained by advanced meditation through the four dhyānas.[3] The main sense of the word seems to be "potency".[4]
