Last Call for comments, Medicine Buddha(s)

[Guest guest]

DearBob, The moderator of Zhang Zhung forwarded me this.;

As far as I can gather, Sibu Yidian is not a name, but the title of a text --

sorry, but my (classical) Chinese is barely existent .... It seems to be the

title of a Chinese translation of the Tibetan rGyud bzhi, the well-known

Fourfold Medical Tantra, by Li Yongnian (Beijing, The Publishing House of Public

Health, 1987)? That Tibetan title occasionally also occurs in phonetic

rendering, transliterated as Yu sui (rGyud bzhi) and ascribed to Yuandan Guibu

(=(g-Yu thog) Yon tan mgon po). I have no access to these Chinese translations,

so you will have to check these data yourself, to be sure.

Hope this helps, thanks

 

( And I think (-not of myself-) but on this list and in the field, we do have

practitioner/theorists whose thoughts do now, and will influence the shape of

the future of TCM. But entertaining mediocrity and confusing showmanship is

often mistaken for real ability and promoted by attaching oneself to

....'power'....and using the connections....sigh.)

most of them have not mentioned Mr. Tuo Wang and ¡°Si Bu Yi Dian¡±. According to

the documentations in China, these are the crucial parts of the history of

Tibetan Medicine. I have been trying to find English version books on these to

verify them. Some of the English version books do mention the history of Tibetan

Medicine. But I couldn¡¯t find one describing Mr. Tuo Wang and ¡°Si Bu Yi

Dian¡±. If you know of some English version books on Tibetan Medicine describing

Mr. Tuo Wang and ¡°Si Bu Yi Dian¡±, I would like to have the references. Thanks.

Mystir,

 

 

 

Thank you for your three messages. I agree with your moderator Zhang Zhung that

¡°Si Bu Yi Dian¡± is a book. I mentioned this in my original ¡°Call for

comments¡± message. If you missed the original ¡°Call for comments¡± message, I

can send it to you off the list.

 

 

 

It was documented that ¡°Si Bu Yi Dian¡± laid out the foundation of Tibetan

Medicine. There were also reports that its author was Mr. Tuo Wang who studied

in China first. Because these are very important historical

events, I would like to get more independent sources to verify them. I will

follow up your messages for further references. Thanks for your help.
