"The Sarma Tradition of new translations of the Tantras is also called the Jowo Kadam Tradition. This Tradition had innumerable Dharma holders. These include Atisha, Gyalwa Dromton, the Three Brothers, etc. The old Kadampa spread into the Sakya and Kagyud Lineages."

(Excerpt from the Opening of the Dharma, A Brief Explanation of the Essence of the Limitless Vehicles of the Buddha. Written by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro. Translated by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Gyatso, Malaysia, October 1984).
