Analogous to a space particle, a tiny particle that accompanies the subtlest mind and subtlest energy-wind from one lifetime to the next. Consisting of traces of elemental particles, temporarily free of the laws of karma that ordinarily regulate bodies made of atoms, when affected by the winds of personal karma, it unlocks the potential of the gross elements of a joined sperm and egg to develop and grow in the case of rebirth as a human or animal.
Tibetan: ཐིག་ལེ་ཤིན་ཏུ་ཕྲ་མོ། thig-le shin-tu phra-mo
