Eighteen Jangchup Lamrim Commentaries

In 2002 H.E. Ling Choktrul Rinpoche requested His Holiness the Dalai Lama to give teachings on the Eight Great Lamrim texts at the three great seats of learning in south India: Sera, Drepung, and Gaden Monasteries. His Holiness very kindly accepted that request, and so starting this year on 30 November 2012 and continuing for 10-15 days, His Holiness will teach on texts of the Stages of the Path at both monasteries of Gaden and Drepung, in Mungod Tibetan settlement. In late 2013 His Holiness will continue these teachings at Sera Monastery in Bylakuppe. The following is the list of the individual texts and their authors that His Holiness has so kindly agreed to teach at that time: 1) Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment by Jowo Je Atisha (jo bo rje dpal ldan atisha) 2) The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by Je Tsong Khapa (rje tsong kha pa) 3) The Medium Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by Je Tsong Khapa (rje tsong kha pa) 4) The Concise Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment also known as Song of the Stages of the Path 5) The Essence of Refined Gold - Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by His Holiness the Third Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso 6) The Easy Path - Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen 7) The Sacred Words of Manjushri - Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by His Holiness the Fifth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso ( (byang chub lam gyi sgron me) (lam rim chen mo)
