Sem, Soog po lu (with two dots over the "u")


Explanation:
There are not very many resources to find the meaning/pronunciation of Tibetan either on the Internet or in print but here are two of your terms."Mind" is "Sem" and "Body" is "Soog po lu" (the 'u' has two dots over it and is pronounced like the 'u' in the English word "flute"). The reference that I used was "The Lonely Planet Tibetan Phrasebook", ISBN 1-74059-233-6. If you look at page 216 you can see "Sem" in Tibetan script and "Soog po lu" is on page 193. I'll see if I can find "soul" for you. HTH.
