1846–1912 CE
Jamgön Mipham Gyatso (1846–1912 CE), usually called Mipham Rinpoche, was the foremost philosopher of the Nyingma school in the modern period and a major figure of the 19th-century nonsectarian (Rimé) movement in eastern Tibet. Born in the Derge region of Kham, a student of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, he wrote influential commentaries across the whole range of Buddhist learning—Madhyamaka, epistemology, tantra, and Dzogchen—and gave the Nyingma tradition a systematic scholastic literature of its own. He is a securely historical and well-documented figure whose works remain central to Nyingma study.
