Ghoṣapraveṣa (घोषप्रवेष) or Ghoṣapraveṣadhāraṇī refers to a type of dharāṇī, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter X. The Bodhisattva who possesses it hears all kinds of words and neither rejoices nor is irritated by sounds. For kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges all beings may slander him and abuse him, but he would feel no irritation.
