About Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo

  • Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (Tibetan: ?????????????????????????????, 1820–1892), also known by his tertön title, Pema Ösel Dongak Lingpa, was a renowned teacher, scholar and tertön of 19th-century Tibet.
  • He was a leading figure in the Rimé movement. Having seen how the Gelug institutions pushed the other traditions into the corners of Tibet's cultural life, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé compiled together the teachings of the Sakya, Kagyu and Nyingma, including many near-extinct teachings, thus creating the Rimé movement.
  • Without their collection and printing of rare works, the suppression of Buddhism by the Communists would have been much more final.
