Mani (Persian مانی Mānī [mɔːˈniː]; GreekΜανιχαῖος Manichaios; LatinManes or Manichaeus) (* 14 April 216 probably at Seleucia-Ctesiphon; † 26 February 277 or on 14. February 276 in Gundishapur) is the founder of the historical religion of Manichaeism and was, according to Rudolf Steiner, an incarnation of the high initiate Manes, who had also been the teacher of the Buddha, Zarathustra and Scythianos and later (1459) the initiator of Christian Rosenkreutz.

„Manes is that high individuality, embodied over and over again on earth, who is the guiding spirit of those who are there for the conversion of evil.“ (Lit.:GA 104, p. 162ff)
