cuppajoe Posted March 2, 2013 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 at 12:57 AM I'm translating both of these as "soul" right now -- but I'm pretty sure that there is a difference. But I have no idea what it is. O.o The first one seems a bit more physical based on the baidu hits that I'm getting, but a physical soul doesn't seem to make much sense.

Michaelyus Posted March 2, 2013 at 11:16 PM Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 at 11:16 PM To my ears, the difference is very distinct, and extremely context- and faith-based. In my belief system there is a massive difference between the two, where 灵体 is opposed to 肉体 and corresponds to spirit in English, and 灵魂 is the concept of a soul that lives on after death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
