Lodo Gyalpo was the main representative of the zur lug school of Tibetan medicine. This is his main work, a commentary on the Gyushi, and is entitled “Commentary on the Four Tantras: Oral Instruction of the Ancestor”. Lodo Gyalpo completed the commentary only on the first and second Tantra and on the first two chapters of the Last Tantra of the Gyushi. The work was later completed by Darmo Menrampa Lobsang Choedrag. This work of dual authorship has been exemplary in the history of Tibetan medical literature. It summarises the main points of previous writers, corrects erroneous views and explores the content of previous Indian sources. It was a major source for Sangye Gyatso’s Vaidurya sngon po. |
