Thanks, Stefanie.
Stefanie Sendelbach Nov 8, 2006:
In Hindi or Sanskrit, there are two different letters that might be spelled as either 'a', 'aa' or 'ā' when transcribed into Latin characters. So it is well possible that you get different spellings for the same term, depending on the transcription style.
Yi Yuan (X) (asker) Nov 8, 2006:
Looks like both spellings are correct. Thanks for pointing this out.
Denyce Seow Nov 8, 2006:
I think the correct spelling should be "maya". Please see:

幻境

It seems that it is also spelt "maya". Please see the following link:

The major aspects of Hinduism are maya, karma and dharma. The concepts also play major roles in Buddhism. Maya is the belief that everything, which one sees in this world is illusion, a product of the individual's own failed interpretation and self-delusion. It is one of the foundations of the Hindu faith. Hinayana Buddhists also believe in maya. It cannot be said, however, that Buddhist doctrine (as a whole) either supports or denies maya.

魔力

Maya
(Sanskrit: “wizardry,” or “illusion”), a fundamental concept in Hindu philosophy, notably, in the Advaita (Nondualist) school of the orthodox system of Vedānta. Maya originally denoted the power of wizardry with which a god can make human beingsbelieve in what turns out to be an illusion; by extension it later came to mean the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. For the Nondualists, maya is thus that cosmic force that presents the infinite Brahman (the supreme being) as the finite phenomenal world. Maya is reflected on the individual level by human ignorance (ajñāna) of the real nature of the self, which man has mistaken for the empirical ego but which isin reality identical with Brahman.
我想可能是“魔力”,但也不太确定。
