The present medical thangka is an illustration to the medical treatise The Blue Beryl, written by Sanggye Gyatsho (1653-1705) between 1687 and 1703. Sanggye Gyatsho was the sixth regent (desi) of the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682) in the Ganden Phodrang government. He founded the School of Medicine and Astrology called Men-Tsee-Khang on Chagpori ('Iron Mountain') in 1694. The college 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. An important part of Sangye Gyatso's contribution to medicine was his composition of the Blue Beryl Treatise and the preparation of a series of nearly 100 medical paintings illustrating medical theory and practice. These paintings were copied and distributed to several other monasteries.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related medical thangka dated to the 19th century in the Rubin Museum of Art, accession number C2006.66.514.
