- Lung (Tibetan: 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 is particularly important to understandings of the subtle body and the trikaya (body, speech and mind). Traditional Tibetan medicine practitioner Dr. Tamdin Sither Bradley provides a summary: The general description of rLung is that it is a subtle flow of energy and out of the five elements (air, fire, water, earth and space) it is most closely connected with air. However it is not simply the air which we breathe or the wind in our stomachs, it goes much deeper than that. rLung is like a horse and the mind is the rider, if there is something wrong with the horse the rider will not be able to ride properly. Its description is that it is rough, light, cool, thin, hard, movable. The general function of rLung is to help growth, movement of the body, exhalation and inhalation and to aid the function of mind, speech and body. rLung helps to separate in our stomachs what we eat into nutrients and waste products. However its most important function is to carry the movements of mind, speech and body. The nature of rLung is both hot and cold. (en)
- 在西藏醫學中，氣（rlung，Lüng，英語：Lung），又被譯為風，藏文原義是呼吸，或是風。它是由印度醫學引進的觀念，相當於是梵語中的氣（prāṇa）；但它也部份受到漢醫學中氣的概念所影響。藏傳佛教認為，它構成了細微身（Subtle body），也是理解三密（Three Vajras，也就是指身、語、意三者）的重要關鍵。 (zh)
