'''Five elements''' (Tib. [[བྱུང་བ་ལྔ་]], [[Wyl.]] '' 'byung ba lnga'', ''jungwa nga'') — the outer elements that constitute all matter. They are:

*'''earth''' (Skt. ''pṛthivī''; Wyl. ''sa'')
*'''water''' (Skt. ''ab''; Wyl. ''chu'')
*'''fire''' (Skt. ''tejas''; Wyl. ''me'')
*'''air''' (or wind) (Skt. vāyu; Wyl. ''rlung'') and 
*'''space''' (Skt. ''ākāśa''; ''nam mkha<nowiki>'</nowiki>'')

These outer elements interact with the inner elements within our own physical body, and the potential and quality of these five elements also exist within our mind.

Mind’s ability to serve as the ground for all experience is the quality of earth; its continuity and adaptability is water; its clarity and capacity to perceive is fire; its continuous movement is air; and its unlimited [[emptiness]] is space.

==In Vajrayana==
In the [[Vajrayana]] the five elements are perceived as the '''five female buddhas''' or '''five mothers''':

#[[Buddhalochana]] (Tib. ''Sangyé chenma'') the consort of [[Akshobhya]], who represents the purity of the element '''earth'''
#[[Mamaki]] (Tib. ''Mamaki'') the consort of [[Ratnasambhava]], who represents the purity of the element '''water'''
#[[Pandaravasini]] (Tib. ''Gökarmo'') the consort of [[Amitabha]], who represents the purity of the element '''fire'''
#[[Samayatara]] (Tib. ''Damtsik Drolma'') also known as Green Tara, the consort of [[Amoghasiddhi]], who represents the purity of the element '''wind'''
#[[Dhatvishvari]] (Tib. ''Ying Chukma'') also known as Vajra Datvishvari or White Tara, the consort of [[Vairochana]], who represents the purity of the element '''space'''
