1820–1892 CE
Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892 CE) was, with Jamgön Kongtrül, a principal founder of the nonsectarian Rimé movement in 19th-century eastern Tibet, which gathered, preserved, and taught across the lineages of all the Tibetan schools. Born in the Dilgo region of Kham and trained broadly, he was renowned as a teacher, a 'treasure-revealer' (tertön), and a collector of endangered transmissions, and his Dzongsar monastery became a major center of the movement. He is a securely historical and well-documented figure whose influence carried into the modern Khyentse line of teachers.
