Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé (T. jam mgon kong sprul blo gros mtha' yas འཇམ་མགོན་ཀོང་སྤྲུལ་བློ་གྲོས་མཐའ་ཡས་)(1813–1899), also known as Jamgön Kongtrül the Great, was a Tibetan Buddhist scholar, poet, artist, physician, tertön and polymath.[1][2] He was one of the most prominent Tibetan Buddhists of the 19th century and he is credited as one of the founders of the Rimé movement, compiling a collection of encyclopedic works known as the Five Treasuries.[3]
He achieved great renown as a scholar and writer, especially among the Nyingma and Kagyu lineages, and composed over 90 volumes of Buddhist writing,[3] including his magnum opus, The Treasury of Knowledge.
He was a contemporary of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Chokgyur Lingpa, whom he collaborated with on dharma activities.
