A non-sectarian or eclectic movement which crystallized during the nineteenth century in Eastern
Tibet where the study and integration of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism were encouraged by the
leading figures of that time, namely: Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye,
Chogyur Dechen Lingpa, and Ju Mipham Gyatso. A principal feature of the Rime movement was the
emergence of a new literature. This consisted primarily of compendiums of major works of all the
major and minor schools of Tibetan Buddhism on convergent topics of thought and practice.
