Rinpungpa

Rinpungpa (Rin spungs pa, Chinese: 仁蚌巴) was a Tibetan regime that dominated much of Western Tibet and some of Central Tibet between 1440 and 1565. During one period around 1500 the Rinpungpa lords came close to assemble the Tibetan lands around the Yarlung Tsangpo River under one authority, but their powers receded after 1512.
