A '''''thoughtform''''' is the equivalent [[concept]] to a ''tulpa'' but within the Western [[occult]] [[tradition]]. The Western [[understanding]] is believed to have originated as an [[interpretation]] of the Tibetan concept. Its concept is related to the Western [[philosophy]] and [[practice]] of [[magick]].
''Tulpa'' (Wylie: sprul-pa; [[Sanskrit]]: निर्मित nirmita and निर्माण nirmāṇa;"to build" or "to construct") is a [[concept]] in [[mysticism]] of a [[being]] or object which is created through sheer [[discipline]] alone. It is a [[materialized]] thought that has taken [[physical]] form and is usually regarded as synonymous to a ''thoughtform''.
''Tulpa'' is a [[spiritual]] [[discipline]] and teachings concept in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Buddhism Tibetan Buddhism] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon Bon]. The term 'thoughtform' is used as early as 1927 in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans-Wentz Evans-Wentz] translation of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardo_Thodol Tibetan Book of the Dead], described as "giving palpable being to a [[visualization]], in very much the same [[manner]] as an [[architect]] gives concrete expression in three dimensions to [...] his [[blueprint]]".

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Myrdhin_Reynolds John Myrdhin Reynolds] in a note to his [[English]] [[translation]] of the life story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garab_Dorje Garab Dorje] defines a ''tulpa'' thus:
:A Nirmita (sprul-pa) is an emanation or a [[manifestation]]. A Buddha or other realized being is able to [[project]] many such Nirmitas [[simultaneously]] in an [[infinite]] variety of forms.
The term is used in the works of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_David-N%C3%A9el Alexandra David-Néel], who claimed to have created a ''tulpa'' in the image of a jolly Friar Tuck-like monk which later developed a life of its own and had to be destroyed.
