The term mantra is traditionally said to be derived from two roots: "man", to think; and the action oriented (k.rt) suffix "tra". Thus a mantra can be considered to be a linguistic device for deepening ones thought, or in the Buddhist context for developing the enlightened mind.
However it is also true that mantras have been used as magic spells for very mundane purposes such as attaining wealth and long life, and eliminating enemies.

^ok dech...memang suatu kenyataan bahwa ada yg makan permen, ada yg makan bungkus permen saja dan ada yg makan keduanya sekaligus...tapi usaha untuk menyadarkan orang lain seharusnya dilakukan dengan metta & karuna, jgn dengan dosa.
