The spiritual practice that produces incredibly intense heat has been known since the time of Rigveda in India. Related with this spiritual tradition was formed the Buddhist tantric theory of the subtle body, whose culmination can be found in the "Profound Inner Meaning" written by Karma Rangjung Dorje in Tibet during the 14^<th> century. The theory of subtle body, as is found in this text, has a striking similarity with the most recent findings of neuroscience, and specially those of the new paradigm which emerged from the contemplative neuroscience of the 21^<st> century, which I would call the "Neuroscience of Self-transformation". Further study of and dialogue on the phenomena that occurs at the time of death among the tantric practitioners, called "thugs dam", may lead to a breakthrough within the two traditions, that is, Tibetan Buddhism and neuroscience.
