What is a dharani? Is "coca cola" really a mantra? Etc.

This was an online discussion about dharanis that took place on the evening of Tuesday January 7, 2025. Here are some of the things we talked about: What is a dharani? What is the difference between a mantra and a dharani? Where do dharanis (and mantras) come from? Did the Buddha teach dharanis and mantras - or is this something that got added later? Do I need special permission, "empowerment", etc, to do a dharani Are mantras and dharanis only part of "Esoteric" Buddhism? Do dharanis actually mean anything? What other dharanis are there other than "The Great Dharani"? Why is the "Great Dharani" so "Great"? Is "coca cola" really a mantra?
