如意寶珠 A maṇi-jewel. A magical jewel, which manifests whatever one wishes for (maṇi, cintā-mani). According to one's desires, treasures, clothing and food can be manifested, while sickness and suffering can be removed, water can be purified, etc. It is a metaphor for the teachings and virtues of the Buddha. Also written 如意珠 and 摩尼珠.

梵語 cintā-mani 之意譯。音譯真陀摩尼、震多末尼。又作如意寶、如意珠、摩尼寶珠、末尼寶、無價寶珠、如意摩尼。指能如自己意願，而變現出種種珍寶之寶珠。此寶珠尚有除病、去苦等功德。一般用以譬喻法與佛德，及表徵經典之功德。關於此寶珠之出處，據雜寶藏經卷六載，如意寶珠出自摩竭魚之腦中。另據大智度論卷五十九載，如意寶珠或由龍王之腦中而出；或為帝釋天所持之金剛，破碎後掉落而得；或為佛之舍利變化而成，以利益眾生。此如意寶珠係如意輪觀音、馬頭觀音、地藏菩薩等之持物，能滿足眾生之意願。
　此外，據如意寶珠轉輪祕密現身成佛金輪咒王經如意寶珠品所載，如意寶珠係以佛舍利、黃金、白銀、沈香、白檀、紫檀、香桃、桑沈、白心樹沈、柏沈、真漆等十一種珍寶合成；亦即以黃金、白銀造成圓形之如意寶，中間放置佛舍利三十二顆，再以香末之泥塗於寶器上而成寶珠。在密教中，若以此寶珠為本尊之修法，稱為如意寶珠法。〔大方便佛報恩經卷四惡友品、觀佛三昧海經卷十、卷十六、仁王般若經卷下受持品、大寶積經卷一一○、金光明最勝王經卷七、大毘婆沙論卷一○二〕
