Desi Sangye Gyatso (1653–1705) was the fifth regent (''desi'') of the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682), who founded the School of Medicine and Astrology on Chags po ri (Iron Mountain) in 1694〔Medicine Across Cultures: History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures (Science Across Cultures: the History of Non-Western Science) by Hugh Shapiro and H. Selin (2006) p.87〕 and wrote the ''Blue Beryl'' (Blue Sapphire) treatise.〔Healing Powers and Modernity: Traditional Medicine, Shamanism, and Science in Asian Societies by Linda H. Connor and Geoffrey Samuel (2001) p.267〕 The name is sometimes written Sangye Gyamtso. By some accounts, Sangye Gyatso is believed to be the son of the "Great Fifth".〔Bryan J. Cuevas, Lhasa in the Seventeenth Century: The Capital of the Dalai Lamas, The Journal of Asian Studies (2004), 63: 1124-1127〕 He ruled as regent, hiding the death of the Dalai Lama, while the infant 6th Dalai Lama was growing up, for 16 years. During this period, he oversaw the completion of the Potala Palace and warded off Chinese politicking. The discovery of his deception was not taken kindly by the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty. He is also known for harboring disdain for Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen. According to Lindsay G. McCune in her thesis (2007), Desi Sangye Gyamtso refers in his ''Vaidurya Serpo'' to the Lama as the "pot-bellied official" (''nang so grod lhug'') and states that, following his death, he had an inauspicious rebirth.,〔(Tales of Intrigue from Tibet's Holy City: The Historical Underpinnings of a Modern Buddhist Crisis Thesis by Lindsay G. McCune ) The Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences, see page 8 of introduction〕 ==Iron Mountain== The medical college at Chagpori (lchags po ri; "Iron Mountain") was designed for monastic scholars who would, after learning esoteric arts of medicine and tantrism, mostly remain in the monastery, serving the public as would other monk scholars and lamas. In 1916, Khenrab Norbu, physician to the 13th Dalai Lama, sponsored the construction of a second secular college of Tibetan medicine and Astrology, the Mentsikhang. Mentsikhang was designed as a college for 'laypersons' who would, after receiving training, return to their rural areas for work as doctors and educators. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Desi Sangye Gyatso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
