Yuthok Yonten Gonpo the younger (1126–1202) (Tibetan Wiley: ''g.yu thog yon tan dgon po'') was a Traditional Tibetan doctor and Ngakpa (non-monastic Tantric practitioner ) credited with composing the Four Medical Tantras (''rGyud-bZhi''), a four-book treatise on Traditional Tibetan medicine which forms the main course of study in the Tibetan Medical tradition. He is widely regarded as the main founder of Tibetan Medicine, mostly based on his composition of the Four Medical Tantras. His other important contribution to Tibetan culture was the Yuthok Nyingthik, whose full name is the Yuthok Nyingthik Guru Sādhanā, ‘Compassionate Sunlight for Dispersing Suffering’s Darkness’(gYu thog sNying thig bLa sGrub sDug bsngal Mun sel Nyi ma’i Od zer), which is the main Tantric Buddhist practice cycle associated with Tibetan Medicine. It is traditionally considered to be an important spiritual component of healing in Tibetan medical culture, and moreover is regarded in all Tibetan Buddhist traditions as a very special method for attaining awakening and realization quickly. ==Biography== Born in the village of Goshi Rethang in Western Tibet, his father was Yuthok Khyungpo Dorje and his mother Pema Odenma.〔''Mirror of Beryl: a Historical Introduction to Tibetan Medicine Desi Sangye Gyatso'', translated by Gavin Kilty, Wisdom Publications 2009. ISBN 0-86171-467-9〕 Yuthok was from a family lineage of royal court Traditional Tibetan medicine doctors who trace their origin to the time of King Lha Thothori (441-561).〔Donden, Y., & Hopkins, J. (1997) ''Health through Balance: an introduction to Tibetan medicine.'' Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass.〕 At age eight, he began to study, with his father and other teachers including Manjusri, a wide range of topics from medicine, Buddhism, and the arts and languages.〔Donden, Y., & Hopkins, J. (1997) ''Health through balance: An introduction to Tibetan medicine.'' Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass.〕 At age 14 he began traveling through Central Tibet where he met a Geshe called Roton Konchok Kyap who transmitted the Four Tantras: the Essence of Ambrosia Secret Instruction to Yuthok.〔Garrett, F. (2007) Buddhism and the historicizing of medicine in thirteenth century Tibet. ''Asian Medicine: Tradition and Modernity'' 2(2), 204-222.〕 At age 18, he traveled to India for the first time where he studied the Eight Branches of Healing, Somaradza and other treaties on medicine with Paldan Phren-ba.〔Kunzang, Jampal Ven. Rinpoche (1976) ''Tibetan Medicine: illustrated in original texts''. University of California Press ISBN 0-520-03048-6〕 When he was 21, Yuthok returned to Tibet where he set up a clinic and began teaching medicine to his students. At 31, he returned to India, where he received a teaching which later became known as the Yuthok Nyingthig, The Innermost Essence of Yuthok.〔Chenagtsang, Nida (2011) ''The Tibetan Art of Good Karma: The hidden treasure of the Turquoise Way'' Sorig Publications Australia ISBN 978-0-9808232-2-6〕 It is said that he traveled to Indian six times.〔''Mirror of Beryl: A Historical Introduction to Tibetan Medicine Desi Sangye Gyatso'', translated by Gavin Kilty, Wisdom Publications 2009. ISBN 0-86171-467-9〕 His heart-disciple was Sumton Yeshe Sung, who received the Four Tantras and the Yuthok Nyingthig. It is said that at age 76, Yuthok gathered his students for a final teaching before attaining the rainbow body and departing to Tunadug, the pure land of the Medicine Buddha.〔Kunzang, Jampal Ven.
