Restoration of Tibetan Buddhism in its Later Propagation Period

This paper is a brief study of the restoration of Tibetan Buddhism in its latter-day expansion, and the popularity it gained at that time, for which much of the credit is owed to devoted figures of both Tibet and India, such as Ye-she-ö, Jang-chub-ö, Rin-chen-zang-po, Atiśa and Drom-ton-pa. These great adherents of moral Buddhism worked arduously to bring about the propagation of Tibetan Buddhism in the later period. Although Rin-chen-zang-po did not himself, found a formal religious tradition, he laid the foundation for all subsequent traditions. And this religious reformation which was initiated first by Rin-chen-zang-po and his patron Ye-she-ö, was successfully accomplished later by Jang-chub-ö, Atiśa and the Ka-dam-pa sect
