The collection is a guidebook for practising physicians, has 133 chapters, and only refers to the third part of the Gyushi. Willhelm Alexander Unkrig in his “Introduction” to Korvin Krasinki’s Die Tibetische Medizinphilosophie (Zürich 1953) translated the title as “The additional methods of the basis of the advantages of the quintessence of the science of healing, the eight-fold secret instructions - the camphor for the removal of the hot disease of piercing pain, the sword that cuts the thread of an untimely death.” Unkrig pointed out that the misspelled katpûra, or k’adbuura, seems to have entered all bilingual editions, and what is actually meant is the Sanskrit karpûra, meaning camphor. In the lhan thabs, the dharani or magical spells are primarily taken into account as the most effective methods, and are described in detail, at times with illustrations of the respective amulets along with instructions for their manufacturing. Apart from the enumeration of chapters, there is another classification, which divides diseases into sixteen groups. |
