Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō
This is the Japanese Buddhist mantra encompassing and expressing the essence of the Lotus Sutra. For over 45 years, Tina Turner drew great strength from her Buddhist practice and the chanting of mantras. She produced several albums with Tibetan and Christian mantra singers Dechen Shak-Dagsay and Regula Curti in the Beyond series.

This word, “mantra”, is the English version of the Sanskrit word which I cannot write since my computer has not the Sanskrit alphabet. The word means, “hymn”, or “song of praise”. In the link you provided, the author(s) have chosen a “sub” definition, “spell or incantation”, which is likely the English “definition” as defined by the same kinds of folks who labeled indigenous people, “savages”, etc. The phrase, “lost in translation” comes to mind.
I am from India and grew up among these rituals. I kn0w first hand what participating some of these ritual’s(mostly chanting and ceremonies) impacts on ones generations and door openings to serous spiritual warfare if you are christian(spiritual). This is just a heads up for people of same mindset only. What you said about translations may be right from english point of view. Thanks:)
