The primary, fundamental psycho-technology [in Tibetan psychology] is meditation in its many, many varieties. To reframe this, meditation, in terms of cognitive science, is simply the sustained effort to retrain attentional, perceptual habits. The effort is to transform the process of consciousness, not its content, and this is where the two paths, East and West, start to diverge.
