::Found the Tibetan term for "mental continuum": རྣམ་ཞེས . Its Mongolian equivalent is "тийн мэдэхүй". This is also the name of one of the links in the Dependent arising. The English for "тийн мэдэхүй" in Dependent arising is "consciousness".  "རྣམ་ཞེས = тийн мэдэхүй" is the spirit. It's different from the Christian or Muslim perception of spirit because spirit is the "mental continuum" (རྣམ་ཞེས).
