About one thousand years ago, the great Indian pandit and yogi, Dipamkara Shrijnana (Atisha), was invited to Tibet to re-establish the Buddhadharma, which had been suppressed and corrupted for almost two centuries. One of Atisha's main accomplishments in Tibet was his writing of the seminal text, A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, in which he extracted the essence of all 84,000 teachings of the Buddha and organized them into a clear, step-like arrangement that makes it easy for any individual practitioner to understand and practice the Dharma. This genre of teachings is known as lam-rim, or steps of the path, and forms an essential part of every school of Tibetan Buddhism.

In this book, His Holiness the Dalai Lama gives a commentary to not only Atisha's revolutionary work but also to Lines of Experience, a short text written by Lama Tsong Khapa, who was perhaps the greatest of all Tibetan lam-rim authors. In bringing together Atisha, Lama Tsong Khapa and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this book offers readers one of the clearest and most authoritative expositions of the Tibetan Buddhist path ever published, and it is recommended for those at the beginning of the path, the middle and the end.

This book is made possible by kind supporters of the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive who, like you, appreciate how we make these teachings freely available in so many ways, including in our website for instant reading, listening or downloading, and as printed and electronic books.

adds clarity about some difficult-to-grasp issues in the Buddhist canon

January 3, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Of the several books I've read by the Dalai Lama, this one was the most useful to my struggle to understand the writings of the Pali Canon directly. The interpretations of Tsong Khapa's written word get into the nits and grits of Buddhist beliefs, and the D. L.'s clarity on these subjects is unsurpassed.

Too complex

April 4, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I would recommend this book only if you are well educated in buddhism. Otherwise you will be confused all the time and will be hard to follow. There is mention of a lot of terminology, ancestral masters, explanations of multiple buddhist texts, and prayers. Overall difficult to follow.

This is a well written and clearly understandable book on Atisha's famous work. For anyone wanting to get further into the lamrim tradition, I would recommend this as an introduction.

A good starter for understanding the LamRim Teachings of Atisha. If you are just beginning to study the Dharma,look for something more basic.

Excellent teaching, some prior knowlege might be helpful

Excellent. Some understanding of the Lamrim would be helpful, but even as a beginner, it is a valuable teaching by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
