Mindstream, mind stream, or mental stream is the English translation of a Buddhist philosophical term (Sanskrit citta-saṃtāna) for the moment-to-moment continuity of consciousness.
The mindstream doctrine, like most Buddhist doctrines, is not homogeneous and shows historical development (as is evident through the exploration of this article), different applications according to context and varied definitions employed by different Buddhist traditions and yana.
