-'''Ālaya''' (devanāgarī: आलय) is a [[Sanskrit]] word meaning "abode, dwelling." In the [[Yogacara]] school of [[Buddhism]] it is usually employed in connection with the word ''vijñāna'' (consciousness) as ''ālayavijñāna'' ("store-house consciousness").

-[[H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:
-<blockquote>Alaya (Sk.). The Universal Soul (See Secret Doctrine Vol. I. pp. 47 et seq.). The name belongs to the Tibetan system of the contemplative Mahâyâna School. Identical with Âkâsa in its mystic sense, and with Mûlaprakriti, in its essence, as it is the basis or root of all things.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 14.</ref></blockquote>
-A synonym for Ālaya is [[Anima Mundi]].
