Samskara +

Lit., from ''Sam'' and ''Krî'', to improve, refine, impress. In Hindu philosophy the term is used to denote the impressions left upon the mind by individual actions or external circumstances, and capable of being developed on any future favourable occasion — even in a future birth. The ''Samskâra'' denotes, therefore, the germs of propensities and impulses from previous births to be developed in this, or the coming ''janmâs'' or reincarnations. In Tibet, Samskâra is called Doodyed, and in China is defined as, or at least connected with, action or Karma. It is, strictly speaking, a metaphysical term, which in exoteric philosophies is variously defined; ''e.g''., in Nepaul as illusion, in Tibet as notion, and in Ceylon as discrimination. The true meaning is as given above, and as such is connected with Karma and its working. [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
