Practicing the Graduated Path to Enlightenment (Lamrim)
“Of all the practices, the main thing is meditation on the Lamrim (graduated path to enlightenment), to have Lamrim realizations” Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
The Lamrim (or graduated path to enlightenment) is a profound system that organizes the Buddha’s teachings into a complete step-by-step path to enlightenment. In this series of classes, we will work our way through the Lamrim, taking time to understand the important points of each step through listening, discussing and meditating.
The book we will be using as a basis for the class is “Practicing the Path” by Yangsi Rinpoche, which is a commentary on “Great Treatise on the Steps of the Path” by Lama Tsong Khapa.
We will also draw from Lamrim commentaries from other teachers, and especially include advice by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche on how to engage with the Lamrim to transform our minds and hearts.
