Tulpa (Tibetan: སྤྲུལ་པ, Wylie: sprul-pa; Sanskrit: निर्मित nirmita[1] and निर्माण nirmāṇa;[2] "to build" or "to construct") also translated as "magical emanation",[3] "conjured thing"[4] and "phantom"[5] is a concept in mysticism of a being or object which is created through sheer spiritual or mental discipline alone.
A tulpa, in the sense used by modern practitioners of "tulpaemancy", is a mental construct designed to appear as an autonomous entity which with training, can consistently appear to the practitioner without the usage of hallucinogens. Well-developed tulpas are often reported to be able to appear to their hosts as separate conscious entities living within their brains, capable of independent thoughts, actions, memories, and feelings. It is speculated that tulpas act on the same mechanisms that allow hosts to experience subjective consciousness, but the exact nature of what a tulpa is, and the mechanisms on which it acts, remain subjects of speculation within the tulpa community.
