'''Rishi''' (Skt. ''ṛṣi''; Tib. [[དྲང་སྲོང་]], Wyl. ''drang srong'') — great sages of Indian mythology, endowed with exceptional longevity and magical powers, who were instrumental in the creation, or reception, of the [[Vedas]]. 

In the Buddhist context, this word is usually translated as sage, hermit, or saint. The Buddha is sometimes referred to as the 'Great Rishi' (Skt. ''mahāṛṣi'').

[[Chögyam Trungpa]] writes: "Rishi [...] refers to the person who constantly leads a straightforward life. The Tibetan word for "rishi" is ''trangsong''. ''Trang'' means "direct," ''song'' means "upright." The term refers to one who leads a direct and upright life."
