The two siddhis (Wyl. dngos grub gnyis) are:

  1. the supreme or extraordinary siddhi (Wyl. mchog gi dngos grub)
  2. the common or ordinary siddhis (wyl. thun mong gi dngos grub)

Supreme accomplishment is the attainment of buddhahood. Common or ordinary accomplishments are the miraculous powers acquired in the course of spiritual training. The attainment of these powers, which are similar in kind to those acquired by the practitioners of some non-Buddhist traditions, are not regarded as ends in themselves. When they arise, however, they are taken as signs of progress on the path and are employed for the benefit of the teachings and disciples. [1]
