Ṛddhi (Sanskrit; Pali ''iddhi'') is a term that refers to "psychic powers", one of the five or six supernormal powers (''abhijñā'') of the mundane plane attained by performing the four ''dhyānas'' in Buddhism. The normal Sanskrit meaning of ''ṛddhi'' is "increase, growth, prosperity, success, good fortune, wealth, abundance". ==List of Ṛddhi powers== According to Bowker, there are eight ṛddhi powers:〔(John Bowker (1997), ''Iddhi''.
