Embodied Unity of Body and Mind: A Study of Dynamic Meditation Practices in Tibetan Buddhism with a Focus on "Running Meditation" (Lung-gom-pa)
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i4.4292
Abstract
This essay examines the unique dynamic meditation practice of running meditation (Lung-gom-pa) in Tibetan Buddhism. Drawing on historical records and contemporary interpretations, this essay analyzes the essence of this meditative practice and how Lung-gom-pa enables people to achieve a unity of body and mind while running at high speeds without fatigue, allowing them to continuously progress toward their spiritual goals. This study emphasizes the unity of body and mind achieved by Lung-gom-pa practitioners during their running, and also provides new insights and inspiration for contemporary meditation practices.
Keywords
