The Development of Vajrayana
1800 - 1950: The Rimed Renaissance
- Renaissance of the Nyingma teachings (Patrul Rinpoche,
Shabkar)
- development of the non-sectarian Rimed movement
(Chokgyur Lingpa, Dechen Chödrön,
Dudjom Lingpa, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo,
Lodrö Thaye)
- first translations of Tibetan texts into Western languages (French, German, English), although the quality
of both translating and understanding is often lacking.
