Siddhi (Skt. siddhi; Tib. དངོས་གྲུབ་, ngödrup; Wyl. dngos grub) — accomplishments, or literally 'real accomplishments'. The temporary and ultimate results that are attained through spiritual practice.

They are divided into:

  • ordinary or common siddhis (Tib. ཐུན་མོང་གི་དངོས་གྲུབ་, Wyl. thun mong gi dngos grub) (see eight ordinary accomplishments) and
  • the supreme or uncommon siddhi (Tib. མཆོག་གི་དངོས་གྲུབ་, Wyl. mchog gi dngos grub), which is enlightenment itself.
