¡°The three factors¡± in Tibetan medicine
During the reviving period of Buddhism in Tibet, many Indian monks were fond of medicine, and disseminated Indian medicine to Tibet. The three vital activities, ¡°lon¡±, ¡°qibo¡± and ¡°paigen¡±, were formulated under the influences of the Indians and the Hans.
Basically, there are three vital activities, ¡°lon¡±, ¡°qibo¡±, and ¡°paigen¡±, inside the human body which are built with seven components: milk, blood, meat, fat, bone, marrow and ¡°essence¡± (hormone?). There are three excreta: excrement, urine, perspiration. ¡°Lon¡± is likened to the air or wind. It is in charge of blood circulation, breathing and the circulation of vital energy named ¡°qi¡± by the Hans and ¡°prahna¡± by the Indians. ¡°Qibo¡± is likened to fire. This one controls metabolism, digestion and thermoregulation. ¡°Paigen¡± is likened to water and earth. This is in charge of physical form, i.e. height, hereditary traits and constitution.
The correlation of the three activities is different for each individual and can serve as a basis for classifying human types. ¡°lon¡± is characteristic of people who are care-free, quick to grasp and forget things. ¡°Qibo¡± is typical of hot-tempered and intolerant people and ¡°paigen¡± typifies those whose natures are calm and apathetic.
