  • Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Mother of Knowledge/Glossary  + (these come under the two general headings … these come under the two general headings of
rNying-ma (the ancient ones) and gSar-ma (the new ones). The rNying-ma maintain the lineages that were carried to Tibet during the early
transmission of the Dharma from the 7th through the 9th centuries. These lineages
were established in Tibet by the great masters Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra,
Sāntarakṣita, and Vairotsana, and were supported by texts translated at that time
by outstanding paṇḍitas and lotsāwas. This early transmission was furthered by the
patronage of the great Dharma Kings Srong-btsan sgam-po, Khri-srong lde'u-
btsan, and Ral-pa-can. rNying-ma-pas maintain a complete Sūtra and Mantra tradition, and recog-
nize nine different vehicles for realization. Principal types of transmission are
bka'-ma and gter-ma. Practices are based on both outer and inner Tantras, with
practice of the inner Tantras being a distinguishing characteristic of the rNying-ma
school. There is an emphasis on the balance of study and practice as a foundation
for the higher practices which lead to complete realization. The gSar-ma is the general heading of all the Tibetan schools of Buddhism
which developed after the 10th century. The bKa'-gdams was the first of the gsar-ma, or new, schools, and was based on
the teachings of Atīśa (lOth-llth century), the great Buddhist teacher from
Vikramaśīla who spent thirteen years in Tibet. Three lineages branched from
Atīśa's teaching, carried by three of Atīśa's disciples; Khu-ston Shes-rab brtson-
'grus, rNgog, and 'Brom-ston, who established the structure of the bKa'-gdams
school. The bKa'-gdams-pa teachings were continued by Po-to-pa Rin-chen gsal
(11th century) and Blo-gros grags-pa. The bKa'-gdams-pa were noted for the rigor
of their Vinaya practice and for the study of Prajñāpāramitā and Mādhyamika
śāstras. Their teachings were later assimilated by other schools, especially by the
bKa'-rgyud and dGe-lugs schools. The bKa'-rgyud school was founded by Marpa (lOth-llth century), the great
yogi and translator who was the disciple of the Mahāsiddhas Maitri-pa and Nāropa.
His own disciple, Mi-la-ras-pa, was the teacher of Ras-chung-pa and sGam-po-pa.
From these two disciples came a number of flourishing subschools such as the
'Brug-pa and Karma bKa'-rgyud. The bKa'-rgyud traditions emphasize devotional
and yogic practices and have produced numerous siddhas. The Shangs-pa teachings were based on the lineage brought to Tibet by the
siddha Khyung-po rnal-'byor (11th century?), a great tantric master who has
studied with many teachers, including ḍākinīs. Khyung-po lived in Shangs in
gTsang, central Tibet, where six disciples became his spiritual sons. Thus, this
school is sometimes known as the Seven Treasures lineage (the Master and his six
sons) or as the Dākinī lineage. The teachings of this school, which are powerful and
practice-oriented, have been assimilated into the other schools, particularly the
bKa'-rgyud and dGe-lugs schools. The Zhi-byed teachings were brought to Tibet by Dam-pa sangs-rgyas, a siddha
who visited Tibet several times around the 12th century and introduced the gCod
teachings. His disciple, sKyo-ston bSod-nams bla-ma, founded the Father lineage
of gCod which followed the Sūtrayāna teachings according to Āryadeva; Ma-
gcig Slab-sgron, a great female siddha, founded the Mother lineage, based on
Prajñāpāramitā. Zhi-byed emphasizes teachings suited to the individual's con-
sciousness rather than adhering to specific texts. gCod teachings continue with-
in other schools, especially rNying-ma and bKa'-rgyud. The Sa-skya school traces its lineage to 'Brog-mi Śākya ye-shes (b. 1147),
who studied with the Mahāsiddha Virūpa. Five great masters continued the
lineage: Kun-dga' snying-po, bSod-rnams rtse-mo, Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan, Kun-
dga' rgyal-mtshan (Sa-skya Pandita), and 'Gro-mgon chos-rgyal ('Phags-pa). The
Sa-skya tradition emphasizes both study and practice, especially favoring the
Hevajra Tantra. The Jo-nang-pa teachings emphasize the practices and doctrines of the
Kālacakra Tantra and developed a controversial interpretation of śūnyatā. The
Jo-nangs traced their Kālacakra lineage to Yu-mo Mi-bskyod rdo-rje (12th cen-
tury), a Kālacakra master and siddha. His spiritual son Dharmeśvara continued
the lineage which later included the siddha Dol-bu-pa (Dol-po) and Tārānatha
(Kun-dga' snying-po), one of the last Jo-nang-pa scholars. Officially closed in
the 17th century, its teachings have endured within other schools. The dGe-lugs school was founded by Tsong-kha-pa (15th century), a master of
the Vinaya lineage who was revered as an incarnation of Mañjuśrī. His Lam-rim
chen-mo, based on Atĩśa's lam-rim texts, became the central focus of the practice
and study of this school, which thus assimilated much of the bKa'-gdams-pa
tradition. Tsong-kha-pa's two main disciples, rGyal-tshab-rje and mKhas-grub-rje,
continued the lineage.and mKhas-grub-rje,
