Meditaion-Mind Training

Mind Training/Meditation - Buddhist practice??
	Mind means Consciousness - the knowing faculty
	Consciousness knows an object along with mental and emotional feeling states associated with that knowing.
	These mental states may be either unwholesome - greed, hetred, fear and delustion or 
	wholesome - mindfulness, compassion, love and wisdom.
	The goal of practice is to weeken arisen unwholesome states, prevent unarisen unwholesome states, strengthen arisen wholesome
	states and cultivate unarisen wholsome states.
	Formula of the practice - pay attention and with discriminate wisdom, understand for ourselves what mental states are unskillful, leading to suffering
	and what states are skillful, leading to happiness, and achieve the goal.
