Who knows, I haven't read or heard all of their interpretations but I think that after stripping away what is not self they believe that mind stream is a self seeing it is carried over in rebirth. Different schools and individual Buddhist obviously have their own ideas.
' Some Tibetan scholars, such as the Sakya master Rendawa, who accept that there is such a thing as self or soul, the "kangsak ki dak" (Tib. gang zag gi bdag). However, the same word, the "kangsak ki dak," the self, or person, or personal self, or identity, is at the same time denied by many other scholars ' . Matthieu Ricard addresses this when he speaks of both the moment-to-moment stream of impermanent events and the continuous individual stream of consciousness. This “individual stream of consciousness” describes a “self” or “soul” beyond the aggregates. When awakened this is Buddha Nature..
