to ignorance should be immediately alleviated. Ringu Tulku says: The movement became particularly well-established in the Kingdom of Derge. Rimé has become an integral part of the Tibetan tradition, and continues to be an important philosophy in Tibetan Buddhism. Other notable Tibetan Lamas noted for their non-sectarian approach were Patrul Rinpoche and Orgyen Chokgyur Lingpa, Shabkar Tsodruk Rangdrol, Dudjom Lingpa and the Khakyab Dorje, 15th Karmapa Lama, who was a student of Jamgön Kongtrul. Other lineage leaders gave their blessing to the movement and its founders, who were considered extremely realized. In spite of the fact that the main figures of the movement were non-Gelug, there were some sympathetic Gelug figures who studied under Rime masters. The most famous of these was the 13th Dalai Lama, who was known to have an interest in Nyingma teachings and who took the great Terton Sogyal as a spiritual friend and guru. The 13th Dalai Lama was a Dzogchen practitioner, a terton (whose Nyingma name was Drakden Lingpa) and a practitioner of Vajrakilaya.

Present-day Rimé movement The movement's achievements have been successful in the 20th century where taking teachings and transmissions from different schools and lineages has become the norm amongst many monastic students, lamas, yogis as well as lay practitioners. This has mainly been due to the proactive support of many lineage holders and various leaders such as the 13th and 14th Dalai Lamas, the 15th and 16th Karmapas, Sakya Trizin and Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, following the "eclectic" approach of the 5th Dalai Lama "who blurred the lines between traditions". The 14th Dalai Lama composed a prayer for the movement praising various historic figures and lineages of Vajrayana Buddhism from India and Tibet, part of which says: In short, may all the teachings of the Buddha in the Land of Snows Flourish long into the future— the ten great pillars of the study lineage, And the chariots of the practice lineage, such as Shijé ('Pacifying') and the rest, All of them rich with their essential instructions combining sutra and mantra. May the lives of the masters who uphold these teachings be secure and
