	Manichaeism. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Mani (called Manes by the Greeks and Romans) was born near Baghdad, probably of Persian parents; his father may have been a member of the Mandaeans.
		Due to Mani’s organizational abilities, the simplicity of his dualistic theology, and his incorporation of elements from other religions, Manichaeism spread rapidly, and it was soon disseminated throughout the Roman Empire and into China.
		Mani’s followers were divided into two classes: the elect, or perfect, were assured of immediate felicity after death because of the resource of light they had acquired through strict celibacy, austerity, teaching, and preaching; and the auditors, or hearers, the laity who administered to the elect, and who could marry.

	Manichaeism, a Universalist Faith
		God, it was said, told him that he did not belong in that community and told him to keep aloof from impurity and that because of his youth he should avoid proclaiming his revelation publicly.
		Mani saw himself in agreement with the Zoroastrian belief that the universe was in a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil.
		Mani was probably aware of the danger that came with Bahram's accession to power, for he decided to leave for the east, to the Kushans around Bactria, where he could count on protection.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Manichaeism
		Mani here assimilates ideas already known from Gnosticism (q.v., subtitle The Sophia Myth) and resembling Christian doctrine, especially when it is borne in mind that "Spirit" is feminine in Hebrew-Aramaic and thus could easily be conceived as a mother of all living.
		Though Mani called himself the Paraclete he claimed no divinity but with show of humility styled himself "Apostle of Jesus Christ by the providence of God the Father"; a designation which is obviously adapted from the heading of the Pauline Epistles.
		Mani finally beguiled the unwary by the use of such apparently Christian terms as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to designate divine personalities, but a glance at his cosmogony shows how flimsy was the disguise.

	Manichaeanism - HyeForum
		Mani considered himself the last of a series of prophets; each of the earlier prophets, while wise and enlightened, only partially understood the revealed Truth, and so their religions remained incomplete and easily perverted.
		Mani's father was at first apparently an idolater, for, as he worshipped in a temple to his gods he is supposed to have heard a voice urging him to abstain from meat, wine, and women.
		Mani was ousted from the sasanid Iran by a Zoroastrian/Christian clerics conspiracy and took refuge to Sogdiana and Khotan (today's Central Asia and Singkiang refgion of contemporary Chiina) There he gathered many followers, but after Arab conquest the manichean survivers there were forced to accept Islam.

	Zarathushtra, Mani, and the Cathars by Sanderson Beck
		Mani was said to have been related to the Parthian Arsacid dynasty, and his association with King Baat, possibly a Parthian Armenian, as he lectured to his disciples at Phargalia, may have led to Mani's arrest at Gondeshapur (Belapat).
		Mani was brought before an angry King Bahram and said he had done no harm but had helped the royal family by freeing their servants of demons and by healing them.
		Many died as martyrs, and many fled to Khurasan or Turkestan.

	Mani's Reunion
		Afterwards many remarked that it was like a darshan, and Mani was more joyous and radiant than they had ever seen her.
		Mani was deeply touched, and soon afterwards in the hospital, when her diagnosis became known, she was heartened by this evidence of Mehera's loving presence and care.
		One day, as Mani was being helped to the dining room, she said, "So this is what Baba wants me to do now." And she turned to this new, most difficult task, with the wholehearted concentration and discipline that always characterized her work for Him.

	Mani's Remembrance - By Steve Myhro
		I was deeply moved to see Mani's long-time friend and companion Korshed Irani, full of emotion, lovingly reach down two or three times to touch her beloved friend for the last time.
		The atmosphere was so comforting as if all of Mani's life was being released into the air, her dedication and love, all her devotion to her Beloved seemed to have been released into the atmosphere near the fire and was flowing into our hearts.
		I was struck by the many phases of finality that had come to pass; from seeing Mani's body laid before Baba's chair at Meherazad through the cremation to this moment of seeing the date fixed in marble.

		There can be little doubt that many of the Manichaeans practiced the ascetic virtues, and were recognizable by the gauntness and pallor of their looks, so that Manichaean became a by-word for any one who did not appreciate the felicity of good living.
		I have indeed made a good many remarks on the words, `For thy sake we suffer, 0' and the things said are not wrong in themselves; but, as regards the harmony of the Old and New Testaments, this case certainly does not prove it.
		The claims of Mani to be the Paraclete are set aside, and the absurd cosmological fancies of Mani are ruthlessly exposed.

		For even if this were thought to be in their favour, inasmuch as their witnesses were many, yet it would be all against them that the testimony of each one of them about [P. 53.] his fellow was a denial of his own teaching.
		And Mani again, though he said that [He] who spoke, by the Prophets exists as the result of a 'mixture,' nevertheless said concerning Him that He is in heaven.
		For God had decreed this in His justice concerning Adam, (saying) that 'In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.' For our God decreed justly and in order that He might in His love warn Adam who was existing in a good state, lest he should exist in an evil state.
