John Myrdhin Reynolds (b. 1942) and is a scholar, linguist, author, translator, and practitioner of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.[1]

Reynolds has made a special study of Dzogchen and the tantras of Buddhism, both in their own context and in comparison with Gnosticism and other Western mystical traditions.[1] This has resulted in Reynolds translating many original Tibetan texts of the Nyingma and Kagyu into English. He has also studied the Bon traditions of Dzogchen and has translated some Bon literature as well.[1]
