The genre of teachings known as the Stages of the Path (Tibetan: lam-rim) represents a synthesis of the entire path to enlightenment. Based on Atisha's Lamp of the Path to Enlightenment, they present the essence of all the Buddha's teachings in a clear and concise way, easy to understand and apply in meditation. His Holiness the Dalai Lama will continue a several year cycle of teaching this topic in India this December.

Our sessions will be traditional meditation practices making use of the Lama Tsongkhapa meditation (Gaden Lhagyama) with one of several glance meditations on the path; with a particular focus on one stage each week by reading from a text Lama Zopa Rinpoche read from when he taught here in 2006: "Essential Nectar" by Geshe Rabten. The evening ends with a Question and Answer discussion.
