In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems1) Air refers to the 鈥�Four Great Elements鈥� which are known in Tibetan as 'byung ba chen po bzhi.鈥擜ccordingly, [while describing the history of philosophical systems in the holy land of India], [regarding the standpoint of the Lok膩yatas]: [...] At the time of death, the body dissolves into the Four Great Elements [e.g., Air], and the sense faculties dissolve into space; they are destroyed. Since body and mind are one substance, when the body is destroyed the mind is also destroyed, just as when the wall is destroyed its mural is also destroyed, and there is no transition from this life to a future life. Thus they deny both past and future lives, and so also completely deny liberation.
2) Air refers to one of the 鈥�Five Elements鈥� (Tibetan: 'byung ba lnga) in the Indo-Tibetan tradition (but it is not mentioned in the list of five elements in the Chinese Tradition).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
