The Ri-ME Philosophy of Jamgon Kongtrul the Great - A Study of the Buddhist Lineages of Tibet (Paperback)

This compelling study of the Ri-me movement and of the major
Buddhist lineages of Tibet is comprehensive and accessible. It
includes an introduction to the history and philosophy of the Ri-me
movement; a biography of the movement's leader, the meditation
master and philosopher known as Jamgon Kongtrul the Great; helpful
summaries of the eight lineages' practice-and-study systems, which
point out the different emphases of the schools; an explanation of
the most hotly disputed concepts; and an overview of the old and
new tantras.
Jamgon Kongtrul the Great (1813-1899) is a giant in Tibetan
history, renowned for his scholarly and meditative achievements,
but also for his energetic yet evenhanded work to unify and
strengthen the different lineages of Buddhism. The Ri-me movement,
led by Kongtrul and several other leading scholars of the time, was
a unifying effort to cut through interscholastic divisions and
disputes that were occurring between the different lineages. These
leaders sought appreciation of the differences and acknowledgment
of the importance of variety in benefiting practitioners with
different needs. The Ri-me teachers also took great care that the
teachings and practices of the different schools and lineages, and
their unique styles, did not become confused with one another. This
lucid survey of the Ri-me movement will be of interest to serious
scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
