New branches: Tantric techniques: Fourfold division: Twofold division: Thought forms and visualisation: Yoga: Yuthok Nyingthig (Wylie transliteration: g.yu thog snying thig) is a tantric cycle composed (or re-discovered) by Yuthok Yontan Gonpo the Younger.
The Yuthok Nyingthig cycle of texts contains practices such as Yuthok Nyingthig Guru Accomplishment: Compassionate Sunlight for Dispersing Suffering's Darkness (Yuthok Nyingthig Ladrub Dugngel Munpa Selwey Nyimey Oser; g.yu thog snying thig bla sgrub sdug bsngal mun pa sel ba'i nyi ma'i 'od zer).
The practices are a part of a ngakpa (sngags pa) family lineage, and were handed down through the Yuthok family until they were taught to Sumtön Yeshe Zung (sum ston ye shes gzungs), the heart disciple of Yuthok Yontan Gonpo the Younger.
The cycle includes additional practices such as mendrub (sman sgrub) or rituals for empowering and blessing medicine, healing and protection mantras, several pūjās, long-life practices, Medical Protectors including Shanglön (zhang blon), and instructions on a form of pulse diagnosis.
