Sarma (Tibetan Buddhism)

In Tibetan Buddhism, the Sarma (Tibetan: གསར་མ, Wylie: gsar ma ) or "New Translation" schools include the three newer (Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug) of the four main schools,^[1] comprising the following traditions and their sub-branches with their roots in the 11th century:

• Kagyu
• Sakya
• Kadam and Gelug
• the minority Jonang school.

The Nyingma, a name contemporary to the emergence of the above schools in the 11th century, is the sole snga 'gyur (Tibetan: སྔ་འགྱུར། ) "Old Translation" school^[1] and is often equated as originating with the widespread introduction of Buddhism to Tibet around the turn of the 8th century.
