CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
Translated by Jhampa Kelsang The original Sanskrit work was probably written during the fourth century A.D. It was translated into Tibetan by Vairochana and given to King Khri-srong lDe'u-btsan (755-797 A.D.) and to the royal court physician, the elder Yuthog Yontan Gonpo wrote 18 Supplements to it.
It is most likely that after the famous international medical conference at Samye, Yuthog synthesized the best of the then known medical systems and rewrote the rGyud-bzhi Four Tantra. His work shaped by his most famous descendent, the Younger Yuthog Yontan Gonpo.
