Nyingma is also known as the '''Old School of the Early Translations'''. Although there were no new or old schools in India, these names are given to the early and later spread of the teachings in Tibet. Translations up to and including [[King Triral]] (866-901) are called the Nyingma School of Early Translations and later ones are known as the [[New Schools of Later Translations]]. [[Lord Atisha]] (982-1054) and [[Lochen Rinchen Sangpo]] (957-1055), respectively, are renowned as the first pandita and translator of the [[New Schools of Secret Mantra]] and they are noted as being contemporaries of the lord [[Smritijnana]]. Ratna’s ''History of the Dharma'' reports that [[Tsandraghirti]] (Chandrakirti) was the last translator of the Nyingma School while Lochen Rinchen Sangpo was the first of the [[Sarma Schools]].

The Nyingma School possesses [[three great transmissions]]: the [[extensive Kama]], the [[profound Terma]] and the [[short lineage of Pure Vision]]. The extensive Kama is also called the long lineage, the profound Terma is called the short lineage, while [[Pure Vision]] is the extremely short lineage. [JOKYAB]

According to the view of [[Rongzom Chökyi Sangpo]], the [[Early Translation School]] possess six superior qualities:

The [[Nyingma School of Secret Mantra]], exalted by these six special qualities possesses also the three special qualities of transmission: The [[Kama lineage]] that is spoken orally, the [[Terma lineage]] that is bestowed subsequently, and the [[Pure Vision lineage]] that is given as blessings.

The three special qualities of the terma treasures can also be: the terma teaching possesses the great warmth of blessings because of having a close lineage; it is a pure source because of having the scriptural proof of the terma letters, and it is a never waning profound path because it appears at the appropriate time for those to be tamed.
