Lung ((チベット語:རླུང) ''rlung'') means wind or breath. It is a key concept in the Vajrayana traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and has a variety of meanings. ''Lung'' is a concept that's particularly important to understandings of the subtle body and the Three Vajras (body, speech and mind). Tibetan medicine practitioner Dr Tamdin Sither Bradley provides a summary:
==Usages== Some of the different usages of the term ''lung'' include: * the psychic winds (sanskrit: ''prana'') that travel in the internal channels, or ''nadi'' (Sanskrit) of the subtle body and are manipulated in certain Vajrayana yoga practices. * specifically the five psychic winds that are a manifestation of the Mahabhuta. These five are the lifeforce that animate the bodymind (Sanskrit: ''namarupa'') of all sentient beings and are key to certain tantric Buddhist and Bon sadhanas and Traditional Tibetan medicine. * to the vayu and prana of ayurvedic medicine. * as a component of the term for a type of prayer flag, named after the allegorical Wind Horse (Tibet: ''lung ta''). * a type of tantric buddhist empowerment that involves the transference of spiritual power from master to augment or refine that of the disciple through the recitation of scripture or song. This oracular transmission received aurally defines Mantrayana and Ngagpa traditions and provides them with their nomenclature. * the "reading transmission" of sutrayana texts, in which the entirety of the text is read aloud from teacher to student. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lung (Tibetan Buddhism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
