The Sanskrit wordbhava (भव) means being, worldly existence, becoming, birth, be, production, origin,[1] but also habitual or emotional tendencies.[2][self-published source?]
InBuddhism,bhava is the tenth of thetwelve links ofPratītyasamutpāda.[3] It is the link between reincarnations.[4] In theThai Forest Tradition,bhava is also interpreted as the habitual or emotional tendencies which leads to the arising of the sense of self, as a mental phenomenon.[5]
InBuddhism,bhava (notbhāva, condition, nature) means being, worldly existence, becoming, birth, be, production, origin[1] experience,[4] in the sense of rebirths and redeaths, because a being is so conditioned and propelled by the karmic accumulations.[4]
The termbhāva (भाव) is rooted in the termbhava (भव), and also has a double meaning, as emotion, sentiment, state of body or mind, disposition and character,[6] and in some context also means becoming, being, existing, occurring, appearance while connoting the condition thereof.[7]

Bhava is the tenth of thetwelve links ofpratītyasamutpāda (dependent origination), which describessamsara, the repeated cycle of our habitual responses to sensory impressions which leads to renewedjāti, birth. Birth is usually interpreted as rebirth in one of the realms of existence, namely heaven, demi-god, human, animal, hungry ghost or hell realms (bhavacakra) of Buddhist cosmology.[4] In theThai Forest Tradition,bhava is also interpreted as the habitual or emotional tendencies which leads to the arising of the sense of self, as a mental phenomenon.[5]
In theJātakas, in which theBuddha didactically reminds various followers of experiences they shared with him in a past life, the hearers are said not to remember them due tobhava, i.e. to having been reborn.[8]
