The myth of the tulpa comes From Tibetan Buddhism. It is a being or object made purely by strong thoughts and meditation. Stories say people who practice meditation can make tulpas so real that others can see and even touch them. Later, Western people who studied magic became interested in this idea, so they created more stories about โthought-formsโ.
However I think that it would be considered ้ชๆ in China.
Interesting idea. I’m hoping somebody can find more information about this one ๐
