1813–1899 CE
Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Tayé (1813–1899 CE) was one of the most prolific scholars in Tibetan history and a central architect, with Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, of the nonsectarian Rimé movement in 19th-century Kham, which sought to preserve and study the teachings of all the Tibetan schools. Born in Kham and trained across many lineages, he compiled enormous anthologies—the so-called 'Five Treasuries,' including the Treasury of Knowledge and the Treasury of Precious Termas—that gathered and systematized a wide range of Tibetan Buddhist learning and practice. He is a securely historical and richly documented figure.

Palpung Monastery, in the Derge area of Kham (eastern Tibet, now in Sichuan, China), is the seat of the Tai Situ lineage of the Karma Kagyu school. It was the home base of the nineteenth-century polymath Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Tayé, who established his Tsadra retreat centre nearby and was a leading figure of the non-sectarian (Rimé) movement.
