The Rime movement gathered teachings from all areas of Tibet and from masters of all Tibetan traditions. The aim was to preserve the large number of rare lines of transmission and to overcome the “competition” (sectarianism) between the large schools that is widespread in Tibet.

The teachings received from the rime masters have been put together in larger collections. The most important collections of the Rime movement are the so-called "Five Great Treasures" by Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye, which contain the "Treasure of the rediscovered teachings" ( Rinchen Terdzö ).

20th century

Masters like Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö and Dilgo Khyentse continued this movement in the 20th century . The term has become synonymous with an unbiased attitude towards all the teachings of all schools of Buddhism. This open-minded "rime attitude" has found its way into many Tibetan schools. Due to political entanglements in the 1960s with the attempt by the Dalai Lama to subordinate the leadership of the four Tibetan traditions to his government in exile, the term rime is also understood by those in exile Tibetan opposition as an instrument of conformity.
