  • Soul (Atman):
  • Permanent and unchanging.
  • Retains identity across lifetimes.
  • Moves through the cycle of samsara (rebirth).
  • Achieves moksha (liberation) when freed from the cycle.

Buddhism

  • No permanent soul (Anatta):
  • Emphasizes non-self.
  • No unchanging, permanent self or soul.
  • Mindstream (Citta-santana):
  • Continuity of consciousness.
  • Carries karmic imprints and tendencies.
  • Impermanent and continuously adapting.
  • Connects past and present lives through actions.
