In the former, divine names—like that of Jesus—are invoked to access healing power, while the latter portrays mantric recitation producing an array of benefits in this life and the next.

What "is" a name or a mantra according to these traditions, and how do such seemingly simple utterances channel otherworldly power? This article will analyze Origen's onomastic theology and the scholarship of mantric experts to explicate each tradition's celebration of empowered speech in light of the other. It will highlight both resonances and dissonances in how these traditions respectively present empowered speech and then will discuss several implications following from this comparison. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Buddhist-Christian Studies is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
