Description: The Tibetan Buddhist classification of mind, its divisions and the system of meditation practices aimed at achieving ideal states of being are a complex presentation of psychological, behavioral and spiritual concepts and processes that demand thorough understanding before assessing their value and outcome (Yeshe, 1995). It is the authors' belief that with the rapid advances in the neuroscience of mental processes, both scientist and Tibetan practitioner can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience to enhance our search for greater understanding of the relationship between mind, body and spirit.
