陀鄰尼 [tuo lin ni]—dhāraṇī. Able to lay hold of the good so that it cannot be lost, and likewise of the evil so that it cannot arise. Magical formulas, or mystic forms of prayer, or spells of Tantric order, often in Sanskrit, found in China as early as the third century A.D.; they form a potion of the dhāraṇīpiṭaka; made popular chiefly through the Yogācārya 瑜伽 [yu jia] or 密教 [mi jiao] esoteric school. Four divisions are given, i.e. 法陀羅尼 [fa tuo luo ni], 義陀羅尼 [yi tuo luo ni], 咒陀羅尼 [zhou tuo luo ni] and 忍陀羅尼 [ren tuo luo ni]; the 咒 [zhou], i.e. mantra or spell, is emphasized by the 眞言 [zhen yan] Shingon sect. There are numerous treatises, e.g. 陀羅尼集經 [tuo luo ni ji jing]; 瑜伽師地論 [yu jia shi de lun], attributed to Asaṅga, founder of the Buddhist Yoga school.
