Abstract
The Tibetan Buddhist presentations of the self reflexive awareness, also
called apperception (Tibetan: rang rig), and the perspectives related to its systematic training might contribute valuable information about the firstperson perspective to the science of consciousness. This would bring new resources to current cognition research while at the same time preserving valuable aspects of a central factor of the Tibetan cultural heritage, namely
Tibetan Buddhism.
