dohā (T. nyams mgur ཉམས་མགུར). "Songs of realization," "songs of experience," etc.
Dohās are songs of spiritual transformation revealing a meditator's experience and insight.[1] "These songs offer an expression of the beauty and simplicity of tantric experience..."[2]
There are collections of dohā by the Indian siddhas Tilopa, Kṛṣṇācārya (Kāṇha), and Saraha.[2]
Saraha’s Dohākośa (“Treasury of Dohā Verses”) was especially influential in Tibet.[2]
The Songs of Milarepa also show the influence of dohā.[2]
