'''Eight Practice Lineages''' aka the '''Eight Great Chariots of the Practice Lineage''' ([[Wyl.]] ''sgrub brgyud shing rta chen mo brgyad'') — the eight principal traditions which 'transported' the Buddhist teachings from India to Tibet. They are:

#[[Nyingma]]—the teachings of the [[kama]], [[terma]] and [[pure vision]] traditions within the Nyingma School of Ancient Translations, which had come down in an aural lineage transmitted by countless learned and accomplished masters, all thanks to the kindness of Khenpo [[Shantarakshita]], Guru [[Padmasambhava]] and the Dharma-King [[Trisong Deutsen]].
#[[Kadam]]—the divine teachings of the Old and New Kadam traditions, founded by the incomparable and glorious Lord Jowo [[Atisha]] and further developed through the magnificent efforts of [[Lobsang Drakpa]], who was [[Manjushri]] in person.
#[[Lamdré]]/[[Sakya]]—the essential instructions of the 'Path with its Result' (Tib. ''Lamdré''), the heart-essence of the [[mahasiddha]] [[Virupa]], which came down to the glorious Sakyapa founders and their heirs, and were then passed on by the various lineages including those of [[Sakya]], [[Ngor]] and [[Tsar]] (Wyl. ''sa ngor tsar gsum'').
#[[Marpa Kagyü]]—the four streams of teachings within the [[Kagyü]] tradition that stems from [[Marpa]], [[Milarepa]] and [[Gampopa]], and branched into the four major and eight minor Kagyü lineages.
#[[Shangpa Kagyü]]—the golden doctrine of the [[dakini]] [[Niguma]] from the glorious Shangpa Kagyü, which comes from the learned and accomplished [[Khyungpo Naljor]].
#[[Kalachakra]]/'[[Six Branch Practice of Vajrayoga]]' (Tib. ''Jordruk''; Wyl. ''sbyor drug'')—the 'Six-Branched Application', which emphasizes the Vajra Yoga of the [[dzogrim|perfection stage]] of the splendid [[Kalachakra]], and which came to Tibet from the noble Dharma-kings of India and others such as Kalapada in early, intermediate and later phases, and developed into seventeen traditions, which were then brought together and passed on by the renunciate [[Tukjé Tsöndru]] and others.
#[[Shyijé]] and [[Chö]]—the noble teachings of the 'Pacifying of Suffering' Tradition coming from [[Padampa Sangyé]] together with the profound teachings on the objects of severance, or Chö, which were passed on by [[Machik Lapdrön]] and others.
#'[[Approach and Accomplishment of the Three Vajras]]'—the teachings bestowed on the [[mahasiddha]] [[Orgyenpa Rinchen Pal]] by the mother of the buddhas, [[Vajrayogini]] herself. 

''Note'': the [[Jonang]] and [[Gelug]] schools are not part of this list because they formed within Tibet.

==History==
Although these eight practice lineages figure prominently in the literature of the [[Rimé movement]], especially, for example, the ''[[Treasury of Precious Instructions]]'' of [[Jamgön Kongtrul]], and [[Gyurme Pema Namgyal|Shechen Gyaltsab]]'s history of the teachings, the list pre-dates the movement by about 200 years. The list may be derived from an earlier list of the most important figures in each lineage, the so-called '[[eight great pillars of the practice lineage]]', first mentioned by the 16th century master [[Tertön Sherab Özer]].
