Lam Rim Chen Mo

The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Lam rim chen mo) is one of the brightest jewels in the world's treasury of sacred literature. The author, Tsong-kha-pa (1357-1419), completed this masterpiece in 1402 and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. Tsong-kha-pa took great pains to base his incisive insights on the classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition. In this way the text demonstrates clearly how Tibetan Buddhism carefully preserved and developed the Indian Buddhist traditions. [...]
The Great Treatise is now being translated in its entirety to be released in three volumes. This first volume establishes that the central focus of the text is the development of the spirit of enlightenment (bodhicitta), the heart of the Mahayana tradition. All the practices that are prerequisite for developing the spirit of enlightenment are covered here, making this indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to understand and practice Tibetan Buddhism.

Tsong-kha-pa (1357-1419) was one of Tibet's greatest philosophers and a prolific writer. This translation is the first into a Western language of his most famous work, a classic of Tibetan Buddhism.
