Consciousness Training
"Did you know that in Pali (the old-school language of Buddha's day), they don't even have a word for meditation? The closest they have is bhavana—which literally means something like 'consciousness training' and refers to the disciplined, rigorous training required to shape our minds in order to become better, more conscious/healthy/awesome human beings." ~ Brian Johnson
