Kyempa Tsewang was a renowned scholar and physician of the 15th century Tibet. He followed the tradition of the Zhurkar (sur lugs) that developed about half a century after the Jangpa tradition (byang lugs). The first two of his four commentaries have recently (Dharamsala 1997) been reprinted as a hard-bound book (592 pages). Kyempa Tsewang gives considerable importance to the ethics and pre-requisites for students as well as teachers of Tibetan medicine and devoted the entire first chapter to the subject. Not only personality and character development of student and teacher, their ethics in teaching and receiving the teachings, but also spiritual guidelines are included in his expositions. He arranged his work in four sub-treatises following the outline of the Gyushi. The same chapter outline reappears in the “Blue Lapis Lazuli” (vaidurya sngon po) by Desi Sangye Gyatso, written about two hundred years later. |
