Lamrim (ལམ་རམ་ – Tibetan for “the stages of the path to enlightenment”) originates from the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. In the eleventh century, the great Indian saint, Atisha, committed the teachings to writing in a very clear and well-structured text, Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment. That text forms the basis for all the subsequent lamrim teachings that lie at the heart of our course.
The lamrim teaching is particularly powerful because it allows Westerners to receive a teaching that is at once concise, complete, and practical. Its exceptional clarity makes it easy to understand and it facilitates study and meditation. Because of the hectic pace of modern life, it is difficult to undertake years of Dharma studies as do the students at monastery. In our course, we will be using Lama Samten’s book, The Essence of the Path to Enlightenment, which closely follows and gives commentary on Atisha’s text.
If you've been interested in Buddhist philosophy and haven't known where to start, or if you've studied but don't understand how it all fits together, this course is for you. The course can also help you understand the teachings behind many of the meditation and mindfulness practices that are popular today.
