The Four Secret Oral Teachings on the Eight Branches of the Science of Healing. Annotated by Dr. Yeshi Dhonden. 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 AD) and to the royal court physician , the Elder Yuthog Yontan Gonpo(709-833 AD).
In an age where a growing proportion of people are turning to healing through natural process, this present volume on Tibetan medicine appears at an appropriate time to respond to the growing interest in Tibetan healing traditions. This book, annotated by Dr. Yeshi Dhondhen, contains the translation of Root tantra or rTza-rGyud (first part of rGyud-bZhi) and first half of Explainatory Tantra or bShad-rGyud(second part of rGyud-bZhi) for a medical student according to tradition. The work will serve as as useful guide for both novice and adept and for numerous others attracted to the Tibetan way of life.
The readers of this book may not only enlarge his/her knowledge on Tibetan Medicine but may also discover new interests; an understanding of Tibetan medicine may even help ease some suffering in patients. It is not an easy task to define Tibetan medicine, especially to distinguish it from Healing within the context of Tibetan Religion, philosophy, meditation and Shamanism. It is equally problematic to separate Tibet geographically from Nepal. I have tried to avoid too narrow a definition of Tibetan Medicine and have included-apart from the Tibetan classic medicine-the humanistic as well as religious and philosophically-based healing rituals.
The essence of this book lies in its relevance in everyday life, making the ancient wisdom available to the modern world. Every housewife and househusband should have this book on their kitchen shelf so that they know exactly what balanced vegetable dishes to prepare for their loved ones. Each globetrotting person living out of a suitcase must carry a copy of this book so that they can at least find out which vegetable is suitable and beneficial for them according to season and place they find themselves in. The most impressive thing about this book is the clear photography of each vegetable and texts following them-no confusion, just read, know and practice.
The book “Basic Tantra and The Explanatory Tantra from the Secret Quintessential Instructions on the Eight Branches of the Ambrosia Essence Tantra” published by Men-Tsee-Khang, is the translation of first two treaties of Rtsa-rgyud (The Root Treaties) and Bshad-rgyud (The Explanatory Treaties) in a bi-lingual (Tibetan and English) format.
The Basic Tantra presents an overview of the essence of Tibetan medicine. In six chapters, it clearly outlines the basic principles of health and diseases as well as methods of diagnosis and therapeutics approaches.
The Explanatory Tantra addresses the theoretical foundation of Tibetan medical science in an in-depth, detailed and systematic manner. It begins with a description of the formation of the human body as it relates to the theory of the Five elements followed by a description of the anatomical structure, physiological characteristics, and the final disintegration of the function of human body.
The second section contains a detailed explanation on the causes and conditions, locations, characteristics, signs and symptoms and the classification of disorders.
Thus the translation will help the English-speaking medical world to understand the knowledge of two treaties of Rtsa-rgyud (The Root Treaties) and Bshad-rgyud (The Explanatory Treaties).
