Mindstream (Pali: citta-santāna, Sanskrit: citta-saṃtāna, Tibetan: sems-rgyud, Ch: xin xiangxu 心相續) in Buddhist philosophy is the moment-to-moment continuum of sense impressions and mental phenomena (citta), which is also described as continuing from one life to another. Often described as a "stream of mind" or "mental continuum," the mindstream is not a static entity but a dynamic flow of arising and passing mental phenomena, which refers as a string of passing moments that happen either in the same lifetime or in the transitional period between one life and another.

心相续（梵語：citta-santāna）是佛教重要概念，又解釋為念念相續、心心相續、識相續，字面上指心念的相續，即是眾生的心識在有為法上前因後果不斷次第生滅，如同多米諾骨牌一個接一個地進行下去，不停變化延展。
