MANA
Mana
Mana is a word found in
Austronesian languages meaning "power, effectiveness, prestige," where in most cases the power is understood to be supernatural. The exact semantics depends on the language. The concept is a major one in
Polynesian cultures. It is part of contemporary
Pacific Islander culture. The term came to the attention of western anthropologists through the reports of missionaries in the islands. Its study was included in the topic of
cultural anthropology, specifically in the anthropology of religion. Links were seen between it and an earlier phase of western religion,
animism at first, then
pre-animism.
Mana (Sanskrit, Pali; Tibetan:
nga rgyal) is a
Buddhist term that is translated as "pride", "arrogance", or "conceit". It is defined as an inflated mind that makes whatever is suitable, such as wealth or learning, to be the foundation of pride. It creates the basis for disrespecting others and for the occurrence of suffering.
