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.
藏传佛教对心智的分类、其划分以及旨在实现理想存在状态的冥想修行体系，是心理、行为和精神概念与过程的复杂呈现，在评估其价值和结果之前需要深入理解（耶喜，1995年）。作者认为，随着心理过程神经科学的迅速发展，科学家和藏传佛教修行者都可以从彼此的知识和经验中受益，以加强我们对心智、身体和精神之间关系的更深入理解的探索。
