	Glossary of Buddhism

The Sanskrit word bhava (भव) means being, worldly existence, becoming, birth, be, production, origin,^[1] but also habitual or emotional tendencies.^[2]

In Buddhism, bhava is the tenth of the twelve links of Pratītyasamutpāda.^[3] It is the link between the defilements, and repeated birth, that is, reincarnation.^[4] In Thai Buddhism, bhava is also interpreted as habitual or emotional tendencies which leads to the arising of the sense of self, as a mental phenomenon.
