ABOUT THE LAMRIM

In his great compassion, Shakyamuni Buddha opened the gates to the road to enlightenment through his teachings.

Many years later, Lama Atisha organized all 84,000 teachings of the Buddha into a step-by-step guide in a short text called A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment.

Lama Tsongkhapa (the founder of our Gelugpa lineage) wrote a detailed explanation of Lama Atisha's text to help students understand and practice the instructions, called The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lamrim Chenmo).  This lamrim foundation is the basis of all practice in our lineage, including tantra.

These incredible teachings by Geshe Gelek on this text are a rare and precious opportunity to gain insights into how to practice.
