==Major lineages== The Tibetan [[Rimé movement|Rime]] (non-sectarian) scholar [[Jamgon Kongtrul]], in his ''Treasury of Knowledge,'' outlines the "Eight Great Practice Lineages" which were transmitted to Tibet. His approach is not concerned with "schools" or sects, but rather focuses on the transmission of crucial meditation teachings. They are:<ref>{{cite book |last=Kongtrul |first=Jamgon |translator=Sarah Harding |title=The Treasury of Knowledge: Book Eight, Part Four: Esoteric Instructions |publisher=Shambhala |year=2009 |pages=27–28}}</ref> #The [[Nyingma]] traditions, associated with the first transmission figures such as [[Shantarakshita]], [[Padmasambhava]] and King [[Trisong Deutsen]] and with [[Dzogchen]] teachings. #The [[Kadam (Tibetan Buddhism)|Kadam]] Lineage, associated with [[Atiśa|Atisha]] and his pupil [[Dromtön]] (1005–1064). #[[Lamdré]], traced back to the Indian Mahasiddha [[Virupa]], and today preserved in the [[Sakya (Tibetan Buddhist school)|Sakya]] school. #Marpa Kagyu, the lineage which stems from [[Marpa Lotsawa|Marpa]], [[Milarepa]] and [[Gampopa]], practices [[Mahamudra]] and the [[Six Dharmas of Naropa]], and includes the four major and eight minor Kagyu lineages. #[[Shangpa Kagyu]], the lineage of [[Niguma]] #Shyijé and [[Chöd]] which originate from [[Dampa Sangye|Padampa Sangyé]] and [[Machig Labdrön]]. #Dorje Naljor Druk (the 'Six Branch Practice of Vajrayoga') which is derived from the [[Kalachakra]] lineage. #Dorje sumgyi nyendrup ('Approach and Accomplishment of the Three Vajras'), from the [[mahasiddha]] Orgyenpa Rinchen Pal.
