Rimé
(
ris.med
, ‘without partiality’). 19th-cent. Tibetan eclectic movement, initiated in 1864 by the publication of the first of Jamgon Kongtrul's ‘five treasuries’, the
Treasury of All Knowledge (Shes.bya.mdzod)
. In its attempt at a reconciling inclusiveness, what had been a heresy—the
zhen dong
doctrine—became the bedrock of a major national movement, which sought to harmonize all teachings in the light of an ontologically positive ultimate reality which is essentially beyond definition. Rimé was at its strongest in its own province of Khams and its effects were felt strongly everywhere but, perhaps because of the importance attached by all schools to their respective lineages, it never looked like dissolving the distinctions fully. The
Geluk
indeed stayed well apart from it as a school, unflinching in their condemnation of the zhen dong heresy.

Ringatu
(Maori,
Ringa-tua
, ‘upraised hand’). The oldest continuing prophet movement in New Zealand. It was founded by Te Kooti Rikirangi (?1830–93) among prisoners captured during the Anglo-Maori wars, with whom he had been unjustly deported to the Chatham Islands in 1866. His earnest Bible study established a new Maori religion which spread after their escape home in 1868. He is now revered as
saint
and
martyr
, and creator of the Ringatu
liturgy
