Buddhist no-self doctrine(as used in Buddhist philosophy): The core Buddhist teaching that there is no permanent, unchanging 'self' or soul—what we call a 'self' is actually just a temporary collection of constantly changing parts.
Collective karma(as used in Buddhist philosophy): The idea that groups of people can share consequences from their combined actions, not just individuals experiencing karma separately.
Mindstreams(as used in Buddhist philosophy): In Buddhist thought, the continuous flow of a person's consciousness and mental experiences throughout their life and possibly across lifetimes.
Supra-individual(as used in social philosophy): Something that exists beyond or above the level of single individuals—like a group, society, or collective entity that can't be reduced to just its members.
